How Many Senses Come to Autumn Hearts?

 

The air’s pounded blue

in the wake of the nighttime rain,

and this too can prove

that Autumn has begun anew

 

            by splitting light and dark.

Into two precisely equal parts,

            but with a gentle tip—

towards the advancing night.

 

And the trees, once more

in going out, are trying to flash

            their toying pink or rouge

 

just as the soil grows again softer,

moist—like a poem’s gentle speech

            when readied to be tilled.
