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
near
to my home
looking
for opportunities for discovery,
for
moments of wonder
in
simple things
out
in the woods
curled
leaves,
one
translucent leaf
from
another season,
held
by the fern field
sprigs
of checkerberries
princess
pine, growing,
moss
on the lee of the fallen oak
still
brilliant green
a
chipmunk darting through leaf litter
a
dragonfly disturbed
at
the edge of the field
close,
right nearby
