THE EMPTYING OF THE SEASON

what we used to call 'Indian Summer'

is upon us with rich warm days

of sunlight saturating the red and golden leaves


and in that sense of melancholy peace

the eye is flooded with the last blazing

of a year's fullness and the gentle sliding


of our lives into the splashes of color

that are our last rising to the emptying of the season
