Squirrel on my front porch
Leaps to a neighboring tree;
Becomes a gray blur.
Leaps to a neighboring tree;
Becomes a gray blur.
The light through the leaves
Shines bright orange and yellow:
Fall luminescence.
Shines bright orange and yellow:
Fall luminescence.
He must be desperate,
This early Fall bumblebee
Sucking chicory.
This early Fall bumblebee
Sucking chicory.
Distant children's shouts
Float from the house on the hill
Unseen--apparent.
Float from the house on the hill
Unseen--apparent.
The new house owners
Have changed almost everything
But lazy fence post.
Have changed almost everything
But lazy fence post.
A fleeting silhouette:
Slowly falling leaf freezes
Caught by the camera.
Slowly falling leaf freezes
Caught by the camera.
I used to hate Fall,
Season of my father's death.
Now it is redeemed.
Season of my father's death.
Now it is redeemed.
With low murmuring,
Three men by the wild garden
Speaking so softly.
Three men by the wild garden
Speaking so softly.
