Leather gloves, blue car
A smell of autumn in the air
Country lanes, open fields
Sunlight’s w-i-n-k-i-n-g glare
Leafy, coloured canopies
A scattered, swirling wind
Delivery to waiting door
Nonagenarians smile: come in
Chesty cough, infected eye
Weary, tired bones
A quiet love still burning on
The luckiest – I know.
