Fragrance of their colors – v2


pungent, sweet, decay
giving up their color,
an aerosol of autumn
deep, rich aroma

maples leaves fallen
almost like ripe tomatoes
their colors dripping, urgent
giving off fragrance
in the wet fall morning

offering up for our pleasure
in their appointed season;
a whisper of springtime
of our planting in the soil
