fields now white with frost
soon return to green and brown
with the autumn sun
~~~~
hidden
under colored leaves
the last windfall pear
~~~~
badminton at dusk
noises from the sweet gum
scare us inside
~~~~
from sleeping-bag warmth
your coffee perks me awake
time for the boat ride
~~~~
eyes wide
to take in the dark sky
around Jupiter
~~~~
drifting past
silent cliff and branches
a lone canoeist
~~~~
the sound of rain
but none falling
only the leaves
