Autumn Sunset
(November 14, 1988)
The
aged sun
drops below sight.
Wearied by the journey,
but shedding glory in farewell,
he colors copper the lonely hillside
(strewn pennies, carpeted thick: autumn's spare change),
colors with cold beauty summer woods couldn't bear.
Shy halfmoon, she veils herself with silk-sack,
while he lectrifies those red littlelights
clustered on the dogwood's fingertips,
a gentle shining farewell,
whispering whispering instant:
the winter's
near.
