October 11, 2009
Early morning hours found
Jack Frost with heavy stroke.
Leaves the color of Goldfinch
In the crux of Summer
Curl inward
Looking for warmth within themselves
‘Till the sun rises
To unthaw the ice and find the trees
Reaching toward the skies
In final attempt
To rescue its drape before departure finds
The branches naked
To snow and wind.
And my wildflowers
Yet violet and white
Have eased to the ground
Where they lay their heads
Pillowed among the bed to fall asleep
And abandon themselves
To a blanket of snow.
As I draw in the flavor of Autumn
She is slightly sharp on my tongue
Her breath mingles
The tang of decay
With the sweetness of labors harvest.
Now daylight falls
And my house groans
To broaden itself and warm its belly
Against the shadowy hours of night
And tomorrow awakens
To stretch herself in a yawn
And find Autumn one day gone.
