Fall Song
Another year gone, leaving everywhereits rich spiced residues: vines, leaves,the uneaten fruits crumbling damplyin the shadows, unmattering backfrom the particular islandof this summer, this NOW, that now is nowhereexcept underfoot, molderingin that black subterranean castleof unobservable mysteries - - -roots and sealed seedsand the wanderings of water. ThisI try to remember when time's measurepainfully chafes, for instance when autumnflares out at the last, boisterous and like us longingto stay - - - how everything lives, shiftingfrom one bright vision to another, foreverin these momentary pastures. - Mary Oliver
