A Season of Life's Inequity

The corner of Melrose Avenue
Drips with autumn color.
The ripened leaves, saturated
In peach hues and two shades of
Fruit punch,
Pull tight the elastic sky behind them.
Eight easy apples hang and cat-nap
Until an ambitious hand ends
One’s sleep.
Here are the killing fields. Here,
Where youthful color bows to
Winter’s fervor.
An uncommon wind will pull
The leaves from their homes,
From their sappy umbilical chord,
And create a palleted torrent,
A regicide of summer and those things
More lively.
Spring never conquers so violently,
He approaches as an heir to the throne
Of a tired king, a wilderness for the
Season’s taking.
Yet each, in its way is equally as pretty.
In life, there exists a more subtle beauty,
While one more intimidating embodies
One’s sleep.
