A giclée fine print from Kristin Vanderlip.

October comes in quietly,
riding in on the chill in the wind,
whispering, “I’m here.”
I sense a slow burn,
I feel autumn’s ache.*
I ready myself for final flares,
steady myself for fading light.

In this liminal space
I feel the burn and
go gently.

*”How I feel autumn’s ache.”
—Virginia Woolf
