Smell of Autumn – v4


Ripe smell of autumn
sweet sweet fragrance, perfume
of Concord grapes hanging
warming, readying for harvest
ripening heavy on the vines
ready to burst with flavor
strong urgent smell
lured me closer, the bees
the vines, the cloud of aroma
spreading outward
from the makeshift arbor
a plume twenty feet wide
enticing, coaxing
wooing me to linger
luxuriate in its mist
smiling at the memory
of other pickings
long ago, my youth
more Sweet fruit
high above me,
out of reach
up in the canopy
formed by wire and bush
