windfall apples
~by Ingrid Bruck, Julie Naslund, Leslie Mc Kay and Susanne Margono
civil war colors
bluebellies and butternuts
birds fly south
land of the wilderpeople
red toadstools in leaf mould
wind in the aspens
tracery of yellow
crosses the blue distance
high above the treetops
gather sight of mountain ranges
wisps of gold and crimson
stone backs of granite stoop
windfall apples ferment
a horse devours
the new scarecrow
birds line bare branches
