Dear Readers, 

Happy autumn. I’m looking forward to the changing leaves and cooler temperatures. I love this time of the year! How about you?

Tonight

the river is saffron

like the sun

arranged in bolts 

of heavy silk

and wild gold flowers

the color seeps

between trees 

and strands of dark

while along the bank 

reeds melt into the dusk 

clearing way 

for the stars
