The melting frost
ablaze in the warming
the wetness of the morning
changing the light
The ferns turned
from green to brown
from summer to autumn
but in the morning translucent
lit from behind
As the frost bleeds away
the lobes of the fern turned
warming in the light
of the autumn morning
as I rush on by
