Getting colder out there

A poem for the last Cross Quarter day of the year

Sweater Weather

Setting out in bright morning
sunshine
to walk the dog,

scarlet leaves crackle
and break
beneath my boots.

Air that should be crisp,
bright blue
and bracing

now alien
with the tang
of CS gas

drifting over
the childrens' Halloween parade
at Kildare and Grace.
