Have you noticed
How the gums –
Have undressed
Early this year?
They stand,
Like
Beautiful
Women
With
Crumpled dresses –
Cast off
With such gay abandon!
Then left
Lying in tatters
All around…
Waiting
To be tossed and turned
By powerful,
Playful
Autumn winds…
While far above
Wild hair is tossing
Over gently swaying –
Smooth
And slender limbs.
