the daylight moon hangs . framed by the changing fall leaves . like an afterthought
leaves sharing a branch . curious how they can change . at different times
something unneeded . at the moment, might be good . just to keep on hand
reaching for sunlight . is where trees and grasses meet . and compare their glow
in the story told . the bird heroically flies . minus one feather
only afterward . can damages be assessed . and repairs begun
someone dropped a jar . of olives, leaving behind . a strange metaphor
their petals open . with each sunrise, expecting . a beautiful day
when the horizon . darkens while the sun still shines . that is a warning
one drop of water . is the beginning, impact . is the end result
