Shining dried leaves of gold coins<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cool but not cold, crisp but not desiccating<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sky painted over with light, pale strokes<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sanguine ivy creeping through bark skin<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nestled past the graveyard encircled by hawks<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As the last of the bees gather <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wooden fairy house staged from sticks and latched with leaves<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hushed hill of degrading green<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The sun still hangs above, yet the crickets chirp<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wilting daisies and remnants of Black-eyed Susans<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Squirrel waits by the amphitheater for a concert I suppose<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dry lake of reeds and towering Queen Anne\u2019s lace <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Brush your hand over them to hear the waves<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Or wait for Eurus to kindly produce them<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Snapdragons swim in shallower parts<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sandy coasts of stampedes surround the waters<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I can hear mechanical echoes on the empty railroads<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I wonder what their destination is<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Never have I found a stiller willow<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Spanish graffiti says \u201cyou are my world\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Is it rustling leaves or something else beneath this creaking bridge?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Logs long-covered in lichen<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There\u2019s a forest of stinging nettles<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I can see gold reach toward the sky<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As I exit towards the graveyard <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
