First frost

“Most things never happen: this one will”
Philip Larkin, Aubade

Summer stretched, dry and warm, onwards into October
Almost as if the seasons had been set aside for ever

Almost: but then one dawn, the ground was white, the air chill;
A foretaste of inexorable autumn, inevitable winter.


Martin Locock, 2002
