Today I lit the first fire of Autumn,

logs and love rekindled all at once,

lost in time, but Autumn jabs a thumb

on the calendar. “Today,” it saysyou lit the first fire of Autumn.

Time is measured ounce by ounce,

live in the moment, past and future we can renounce.

Today I lit the first fire of Autumn

logs and love rekindled all at once.
