the trees are bare;
winter winds picked them clean.
a bird lands, chirps, & flees.

by the green river,
one tree prematurely
takes Fall colors.

branches hang strong
against the dense clusters
of yellow trumpets.

the treetop leaves
that catch early & late sun
are the first to fall.

a tree lies, fallen:
uprooted where others
stand straight & true.
