Fall Luminescence


 Saturday, September 27, 2014


 
Squirrel on my front porch
Leaps to a neighboring tree;
Becomes a gray blur.
 
 The light through the leaves
Shines bright orange and yellow:
Fall luminescence.
 
 He must be desperate,
This early Fall bumblebee
Sucking chicory.
 
Distant children's shouts
Float from the house on the hill
Unseen--apparent.
 
 The new house owners
Have changed almost everything
But lazy fence post.





A fleeting silhouette:
Slowly falling leaf freezes
Caught by the camera.






I used to hate Fall,
Season of my father's death.
Now it is redeemed.






With low murmuring,
Three men by the wild garden
Speaking so softly.
