A Mugful of Cider

Summer heat ripens apples,

Autumn breeze turns them to cider.

Sips of warm, spiced cider

Wanders into the world

I don’t know—

I’m sure I’ll get lost,

Maybe even scared.

Who’s there—

Aliens?

Ghosts?

A place to lose myself

In the river of cider,

Where bubbles carry answers.
