Listen to poem:

In the Frame of Fall and Rain

In the Frame of Fall and Rain 
David J Walker

If I painted your picture
You would still be 19 turning 20

Walking barefoot in the fields of 
A distant Fall

Over hills of light autumn breezes 
The kind that chills and slightly freezes
Your perfect skin

Never come in
	From that half-light of 
Of a full autumn rain

Your face in the frame 
	Your slight smile in the equinox hour

A mile or so down the back roads
Of our overlayed youth
