Red sumac signals a transition,
drifting maple leaves a release,
a benediction of reprieve
o changing one,
who tilts the axis to
shift a season, let me
change too, and decompose
ambition and relinquish
so much striving
my movement synchronizing
with a tender, transformed earth,
my breath with yours and blurred
among the colors, in its brilliance
and oh the quiet
