My Apple Tree

...They’re cutting down my apple tree.
Well, I say it was mine, even

Leeching from others whose work they have seen
Always alert for what comes their way
Grabbing their windfalls by night and by day

Wind Songs

Brown from harvest, drought and blight,
are cornstalks spinning through the night

Autumn Wind

...A litany of leaves tango
