of a tuft of tall grass
etch rocky ground.

autumn long shadows
of a tuft of tall grass
etch rocky ground.

Autumn afternoon,
light warms a copse of pines;
beyond: crisp blue sky.

amid pines, blue sky
Autumn days masquerade
as Summertime.

yellow daisies grow
from crack & fissure;
bridging Summer & Fall.

I like Thanksgiving’s food but think a practice of being grateful just once a year is bad form.

the grain is ripe.
the days are short.
the farmer, weary.
