Rotational Poem of the Day

Autumn

The autumn I prefer is not the time of raking winds,

of loose leaves, scents of snow, blank skies,

unhappy rain, of vague temperatures.

It is that which shows in rare, warm, quiet days,

when the oozings of decay are spread with sunlight, and the trees again

bloom briefly red. There they are, lighting

the dry sediment of summer, creating

space inside for a dull dark padding

to see them through

the narrow pass of winter.
