Swirling Silhouettes




Brown leaves are soggy;
Yellow leaves quiver on leaves.
Car leaves empty sound.

It's become the tree--
Wooden owl's been there so long
Watching and waiting.












Break in the gray sky--
Patch of blue between the clouds
Rolls swiftly across.

A flurry of leaves
Sweeps across the the leaden sky--
Swirling silhouettes.









Painted with moisture
Dead leaves becomes a palette
For an Autumn brush.

Beyond the thick clouds

Insistent cry of a crow
Shouting at something.

It's almost raining;
Thick gray clouds are gathering;
But there's light ahead.

Why do they wave back,
Those passing cars I wave at?
I do not know them.
