adornment
Where errant already. Where harrows light even. Where
sparrows. Unseaming trees gather
that shade of late
morning that morning. Gold threaded
already. If threaded
through that which begins now
already. As that which
begins now begins even now
to thin into
thin whispers. As thin as
uncunning
undreaming. As that which
unseemingly passes. Now into. Now
even. Now
passes. Now into
these falling.
Gold leaves.
