Whisper
Clouds drape the sunset. /
Fall reds and orange whisper /
of old homes and dreams.

Cool sun
The autumn’s cool sun /
spurs not the bee to quickness. /
Flower’s empty hearth.

In one leaf
In one leaf is all
the fall, and in one moment
is all of a life.

Scarlet
Scarlet November /
Dies in beauty on the earth. /
Withered Maple fist.

Fall flowers
Paths of fall color /
Descending from summer /
Color winter’s way.

“At home with a good book”
I wanna go home
where the buffalo roam
all about the loam,
and the troll and the gnome
eat crumpets from a comb
and the strumpets of Rome
read erotica from a tome
and wait for you at home
where the fun’s allowed to roam
wild as strumpets on a comb
and crumpets on the loam
and buffalo with a tome
thundering about the streets of Rome.
I wanna go home.

Whisper
Falling leaves of fall /
whisper their dying refrain: /
winter is coming.

Hanging
Hanging with the dead, /
may mean fingeratively,
or even your toes.

Autumn descends
Old leaves and lost light, /
days of autumn descend on /
young cat and stone bench.

Seasonal waters
It is the season. /
I drink from the mouth of death /
to quench my parched bones. /
Though I shall never be done /
for death now flows forth from me.
