Putting the Beds to Sleep



putting the beds to sleep
 
 
by angie quantrell

 

 
shorter days
 
colder nights
 
water is shut-off
 
falling leaves
 
dying stalks
 
fading blooms
 
sagging fruit
 
life cycle ending
 
though a few gallantly bloom on
 
time left is not sufficient for success
 
putting the beds to sleep
 
leaves, trimmed herbs, branches
 
no cats may visit here
 
tucked in securely
 
decay, compost, turn back to dust
 
good-night, dear beds, to sleep you go
