November Leaves
The trees are a thick
ochre wash.
Chamber violins
& trumpets
announce
Baroque leaves
that swarm
the wet ground
this overcast afternoon.
From time to time
red oak blood
scatters
a small herd
of yellow leaves.
A new violin,
sadder than its chamber sisters,
outlines
the gradual descent
of one crisp, brown
leaf.
