SUNDAY FIRE

Swift autumn, like a bonfire of leaves....
   Elinor Wylie





And so it has seemed, watching the wind scatter the fiery leaves hither and yon,
as we sit under our Tulip Poplar watching.


I want to gather them  to me, hold them close.  Cling to this day.


Else lie among them, breathing in the scent of autumn hastening away.
