walking carefully
trying not to step
on the ginkgo leaves
Month: November 2009
:
strewn about;
the neighbor’s oak leaves
prefer my lawn
:
yellow blades–
even the tall grasses
lighten and fade
:
a cricket pulses
in the dark under the azaleas —
autumn rain
:
triumph of the shrill —
raucous crows chase
a hawk from the pines
:
a blue glow,
streetlamp or moon?
I tilt my head
:
a path becoming
evident in the fallen leaves;
the dog and me
:
windows open,
the scrape of brittle leaves
across the drive
:
the maple on the corner
makes its own light;
fall dusk
:
time change —
following the full moon
home from work
