Do I hear a motion?
outside the trees tremble
a yellow curtain of light
First we need to discuss striking number six.
a small gray rabbit
nibbling Indian corn decorations
We can amend this.
or maybe corn candy
What are the extenuating circumstances?
it’s very warm outside
paint peels on elderly Victorian buildings
Such as a computer crash?
helter-skelter
the lawn mower blows crinkled autumn leaves
This has to be turned around in four months.
the pigeons on the lawn
do they migrate now to the South?
I move we adjourn now.
waning October light
sunset has made its decision .
