Early and Late Autumn


Picture yourself this summer
sleeves rolled, tie loose
free among cafes

late sunset, long avenue
a strolling memory
of seasons, love and loneliness

you get home
open window
crickets' song

and lie down with nothing on
a breeze softly
sways the maps against the wall

         *            *            *

Three a.m.
      November moon
            The last faint cricket.
