The change in seasons was not marked
with the foliage changing from greens
to bright reds, crisp yellows, and oranges.
Instead, the bushes turned a yellow-celery
color or a dried and crispy oats tan shade
to mark the end of the annual rainwaters,
and the foliage remained the same green,
baring little wear for time's passage
into the months with water and air
just a touch too cool for the tiny frogs
that once lived in my toilet tank.
