After the rains,
the cold heavy fall rains,
there was
a different forest, a change
shades of brown, of yellow,
the oaks, birches, the duller
evergreens, replacing
the brighter cousins,
maples and others
darker brown, grayer green
foretelling the winter to come
the fall rains, stripping away
the colors, hunkering down
for winter
