Grumbles

by Alison McBain

When autumn falls
the goose calls home
white walls of ice.
I mourn the sound
of summer heading southbound.

Hibernation
of the sun’s warmth
is one reason
I hide too
until spring once more breaks through

But then beware
the new flare of
danger: twilight
vampires on small
wings are that season’s downfall.
