An Autumn Storm...



The wind is blowing hard today.
A sou'easter.

The red-orange leaves of the oak tree
are all rustle and dance,
papery and dry.

Leaves take off
skittering down the street.

The rain has gone.
I think.
I yet may make it walking to Frankton
to the optician's.

Jacket and scarf.
Hair all blown and messy.
Exhilaration.
Air in my lungs.
Muscles in my legs taut
as I bounce along on my MBT's.

Car?
No.
I'll walk.

  2. Well, Joan, I felt like I was just bouncing along with you on your exhilarating walk. I hope you didn't get rained upon. Ah, the fresh coolness of Autumn.
