The Last Illusions of Youth

"A few days ago I walked along the edge of the lake and was treated to the crunch and rustle of leaves with each step I made. The acoustics of this season are different and all sounds, no matter how hushed, are as crisp as autumn air."

or lie prone under the trees of the forest,

or sprawl wet-legged by a mountain stream..."

"Colors burst in wild explosions

Fiery, flaming shades of fall

All in accord with my pounding heart

Behold the autumn-weaver

In bronze and yellow dying

Colors unfold into dreams..."

only just beginning to turn the muted metal colors of fall..."

"City streets: a blend of creeping grayscales,

jutting angles, and massive linear structure.

Feathery branches, flirting with sleek wires down avenues on which I walk.

Sheets of bland neutrality, forged in the medium of clouds, span the sky,

emit a misty cool."
