What I thought was one of
the black butterflies of summer
was instead a tiny bird.

The bug in the berry was
surprisingly deliciously
salty.

Late autumn hot
unique humid
sea breezes in-land
colors still ablaze
I a burnt copper
in setting gold sun
reflections, perfect blues.

A small bird flying overhead
determinedly through the wind
high above is tossed she chirps
desperate to be somewhere

The leaves outside my window
couldn’t be more red, more red
than I have ever seen.
The sky above my head
couldn’t be more blue
yet less blue than I am now.

I must tell you all
about the last luscious light
burnt-yellow still burning
in the tops of tallest maples
scraping the tip of blue night
while alive at the other end of sky
hangs the moon manicured frenchly
whiskey sweet a spirited sprite
burns the tip of my tongue
Chagall 2015
Autumn still conveyed my vibrant colors
until I realized it really wasn’t youth at all.

I’m finding more
guitar picks
laying lying around
these days
I’m feeling
more nimble
then and than
stars
We, I believe
are our own
answers
Swear
on a pinky
ring
More in
a haze
these days
Amazing these
swifty
autumn ways
Chagall 2015
November yawns wide
expels expanses of cold
billowed crisp surround
