I am slowly falling

Autumn came again in warm colours,

And a postman still wore short trousers, but

Now wears rubber boots and a cape against the rain.

The Butcher greets me from a distance

Since I complimented his mince pie.

The pharmacist asked me

If I had medication for autumn's depression.

In the bakery, which I can reach without pain,

Freshly baked bread smells good.

It does not taste at all like the Polish bread,

But it smells good.

The last address I moved to before Brexit,

Nothing changed, and

This is still my place on earth,

Although in my heart

The memories itch in my blood.

It's raining again,

A new dog looks into my eyes, asking, "Why is it raining?"

He does not like walking in wet weather.

A white-haired old chap suffers from rheumatism.

Dad walks his old dog behind the rainbow bridge.

It has been two years since.

The time is flying by so quickly. Too quickly ...

Purple and gold autumn is all around me.

It's raining more often now.

Leaves are falling, blown by the wind.

And I am slowly falling.
