Autumn Trees
AUTUMN TREES
like some huge wild beast
this hollow tree, dead limbs spread
two children inside
three wolves in the snow
patiently look up the tree
some nut shells and tracks
hear their wild clucking
three ducks in the snow look up
strewn red berries, tracks
bare trees and lamp posts
this empty, snow covered bench
man with saxophone
branches split skyward
a few yet cling at the top
flock of geese fly south
Dave Austin
