  • The Sun

  • Creeping

    cunning copper creeping,
    auburn shadows stalking leaves
    like urban predators –
    grasping and smothering
    them with tentacles, tangling
    emerald with marigold,
    pine and pear with honey,
    mustard with pumpkin,
    meshing garnet with caramel
    and dusky cinnamon
    with avocado.
    raw, rustic rainbow.
    leaves flush from green to gold,
    faces glistening as they are pulled
    from summer’s artichoke-hold.
