The Wind

Running for coffee
out to the car, still night
The sound of the wind
in the maples, losing their leaves
fall wind, blustery

Layers of crisp clouds,
illumined from behind,
as if painted on moving glass plates
some stagehand working overtime
the moon behind, radiant still

Pausing, stopping my walk
to gather in these images
coffee can wait
as I stood there in wonder
