As Fall fades into October

Transition week 2015- October update pending

Bright

*

Yellow weeping Willow
hangs her head
caught in the corner of my eye
waving goodbye

Long fingers hang limp
strum the empty heaving air
moving in the tentacle string wind.

Cascading color
tangled water crest fallen
as stray estranged leaves
scurry across black gold

While the adjacent playground
is deserted of children
today

A lone fire hydrant
squats silently chipped red
not playing
not playing
at all
today.
