it is fall and the weather is changing

it is fall and the weather is changing
when i walk to the mailbox to send two letters
the sun is bright but my ears and cheeks get cold

winter starts quickly when you aren't waiting for it  

last night at the restaurant for dessert 
we had coconut ice cream and bananas with chocolate sauce
the bananas were golden in puff pastry that had been fried

we didn't fight over it
but we ate it quickly 
laughing 

i looked out over the tables into the dusk's high dark blue sky
below that a sash of perfect darkness that were smooth clouds
holding lightening miles and miles off

when you asked me if i was holding my breath
 i said no
