A Walk in the Woods – v2


sitting at the end of dinner
feeling a calling
thinking of a walk in the woods
just before fall

not in the deep unfamiliar thick forest
no something familiar
suburban woods

looking for opportunities for discovery,
for moments of wonder
in simple things

curled leaves,
one translucent leaf
from another season,

sprigs of checkerberries
princess pine
moss on the lee of the fallen oak

a chipmunk darting through leaf litter
a dragonfly disturbed
at the edge of the field
right nearby
