Tortured Cucurbita



navy/rust rugby, comfortable cotton —
just a smidge of spandex (why? not a clue.)
oversized but I don’t mind the look
and the autumn woods are calling.
leaves littering the patio
skitter across the concrete,
they tumble and writhe
in an artificial wind
dusty mauve
of my neighbor’s hydrangeas —
a mass of glorious blooms.
might he miss this single snip,
one that adorns the desk
where I write?
late afternoon light,
racing whitecaps
to a distant shore —
the slap on the hull,
the piercing bow
young buck, in a distant wood
scraggly marigolds
& late-season dahlias,
the stonewashed flowers
gracing a faded garden

I know I’m missing some here. Probably A LOT!
miniature teacup & saucer
creamy brown and perfect
a tiny pink flower just for me
tiny silver bells
tinkle in a somber wood
nightfall smothers the sound
*
their joyous light continues
despite the oppressive
darkness
