Under the White

Wondering, sitting here
warm in my office
the garden still
in the cold
under the white

The leaves around
some degree of shelter
but the frost heavy today
bringing this to an end

A harvest today
what I am able
gathering in the rest
of the summer fruits

Maybe too late
for some of the produce
some of it to be eaten today
before it turns to mush
