autumn

sun sets an auburn light
on the lucid black spruce trees
and the white-throated sparrow

on the ground as if lit from inside
in the spell of an adirondack elixir
offering courage that seems to elude

the fickle blue-green baby tamaracks
protesting cadmium yellow changes
their branches surrendering all

to the season like the loons
being drafted to coves and bays
