A break in the rain

A break in the rain
Of November
A family of moorhens
Patter up a bank
Under the yellow leaves
Ghostly green in the middle
Clinging on -
Or maybe 
A moment of Spring 
For these brown younglings,
For me;
A kinder cold,
Visible soft -
Before half a moon 
Sinks us back into the season 
Of wishing it still
Was.
