GREEN AUTUMN
The bank of cloud is washed away by the sun which spatters drops of light
against the white house wall. Yellow birch trees straighten up
the fields that lie in a long line down towards the river bend. The lorry
with a green awning fills out the autumn day that as yet has not
tasted frosty nights. The leaves are falling more or less
randomly to the ground. This is not to say that nature
is experiencing the calm before the storm. The purple dome aster
holds its flowers up high. The blackberries are still
there for the picking, and the funnel chanterelle clings
to rotting pine stumps. The autumn is green, forecasting more vapour.
