Brown among the green;
White goats nibble the dead leaves;
Sky is crystal blue.
She casts a sly eye:
The fat white hen stops to look;
I'm too big to peck.
Cascade of mushrooms
Pour over the dead tree stump;
Nourishing decay.
Shadow on the lawn
With dimension and texture:
Witch's silhouette?
Linear shadows--
The trees have very few leaves.
Fall geometry.
Woodpecker rattles
Like little fingers drumming;
Must be a small one.
How quickly they change--
The bright white mushrooms of fall;
Autumn chameleons.
I left my journey,
Disappeared into my mind,
Came back with a jolt.
