Return

autumn
Originally uploaded by Adagio.

Flurries of movement in the fig tree;
waxeyes feasting on the last of the figs.
Gone, gulls encircling skies above Pt Chev;
reminder of the sea's proximity.
Again, tuis fussing amongst puriri leaves;
the taffetta rustling of feathers.
Luxuriant greens of an unplanned departure
transformed by autumnal hands.

Tonight, I sleep alone;
the once-ordinary becomes extraordinary.
