The chill in the air

brings my hands closer

to the wood points,

to the pulpy pages,

to the prose and comfort in between....

Crows, Gulls, Evergreens

an abundance of laughing and preening and searching
in grassy tufts
tall, true woodland spikes
and rooftops
generates the deep autumnal spirit
i crave.

thank you crows.
thank you gulls.
thank you perching songbirds.
thank you evergreens.
you are a perfect circle of life....
