A Leaf on the Ground

A spasm, a burst, a splash
clear, discrete, jarring color
contrast of red on green
before the slide fully
into fall, harbingers
the rain of color to come
lush red, pure color
against the wet moss,
green leafs
grass and plantain
edge of the sidewalk
early tableau of red maple
leaves of color on the ground
