actually 11 X 06, which is why it's delayed. I did write a few, on
Wednesdays, while away; this is one.
snap: after the storm:
bracketed by puddles
the leaf-carpeted path
stretches brightly off
the fresh clear water
also strewn
with glowing orange
& umber leaves
& among that colour
full glitter reflections
of slim trunks dark sky
a sudden susurrus
& a few more drift slowly down

You may allow me moments
not monuments, I being
content. It is little,
but it is little enough.
