A Sudden Change

A sudden change in the weather.
Yesterday, sunlight silver, fall was
Stirring cool air through park trees
And turning out the seasonal sheets.
First to color them, then to slumber them.

Now, today, summer has reappeared,
Hazing the sky, warming stiff
Bark with a mother’s golden breath.
It tickles the undersides of thick green
Leaves plump as children’s feet.
