Charity
Colors of fall
yellow, orange, red and brown
and then unending drop.
I used to laugh on unheard jokes.
The crowd thins
as tall stalwarts
autumn-wished, begin to shed
the pretentions.
The naked spirit roars on the hill.
Age will be no bar,
the war is still on –
stitching the tears.
I can hear the whispers.
It was the shirt of death,
which you want to put on
and play the game for charity.
