Autumn
By Vincent J. Tomeo

A pumpkin sky spreads like jelly
Ribbed streams of the sun
Skip between trees like ghosts

Knot holes on stumped trees bend
The forest blunts the wind

Wrinkled toes knees and elbows
swallow the air
Damp leaves struggle
in the skewed light
Turning into a crisp bed of dirt

I don’t smell the leaves burn.
