Sharp scent of cinnamon—
Gnarled arms of apple trees
Bend toward Halloween
Narrow bars of black pupil
Search out hands holding paper cups:
Goat food: 50¢
Musty-fust of dusty museum:
Plastic rooster guards his coop
Acres of fall chrysanthemums—
Surprising left-turn in the forest!
Rolls rocks to mark time:
Sisyphus in a petting zoo
On crisp cerulean skies—
Snap of fresh-picked Gravensteins…
