A Barn In Autumn
Questions For A Barn in Autumn
How do maples display such elegance
along a commonplace highway?
Weathered wood, so gray,
how can such dullness push bright orange, melon, yellow to leaping brightness?
A boat, a trailer, camper, tractor, summer table --
why fit so perfectly beneath the majestic canopy of maples?
The back bluff, like a stiff spine,
how does it lift and hold and steady?
Autumn -- how does it stamp away the emptiness from my heart?
