"Autumn" (by Joe DiMino)
Knee-deep in turning leaves fallen
I lay down to enjoy the woods colors
Cooling sunlight dividing
Into autumnI am reminded
That man is not his own chemist
Nor the maker of seasons
Winter a cold fact;
I stay awhile
Then gather in bundles,
Compress into warmth
Brittle and the veins
The most interesting those
That blow far away
Where they go
And how new ones come back
Is the mystery of a lifetime
Dull science dimly calls a year.
