Autumn Haiku
all there is inside the burr three perfect chestnuts
arthritic hands
wringing each other
olive trees
slanting sunlight
a bumblebee returns
to the goldenrod
how much longer?
yellow mulberry
roadkill buck
three black vultures disemboweling
the mackerel sky
keeping the rain
from the Chesapeake
muscadines
red pines growing from the barren they make deepening rain
caput mortuum
autumn dusk
won’t give up the light
a red cedar
clinging to a rock
clinging to a rock
valerian dusk clouds everything in black
