autumn light

not knowing

where I am

in a golden wood

I follow the leaf-light

that glimmers within me

~redlights 13:1, Jan. 2017

the wings

of a dragonfly

clear

as autumn light

the shortness of days

~Spent Blossoms: TSA Members'Anthology 2015

winnowed

to the last leaf

a woman

and a willow oak

wrapped in a blue silk sky
