This is an excellent autumn haiku. The bills, the shorter days which means less time to go out into the “field” and work. A need to stock up for the winter. Or that’s how it feels. Autumn brings wisdom, self-reflection, beauty but it’s also very hard and stressful.
And medical bills, especially if you are doing something alternative that insurance won’t pay for, I’ve been there.
