Every fall
the trees shake off summer
they stretch and yawn
let go of memories of green
sun
heat
children climbing
skinned knees and scabs forming
scars to show
how many trees were climbed
every fall
the trees shake off summer
almost as if deciding they are tired
of all the green
and would like the world to be a more warm shade
