Living orange, growing, spreading
eating the limb of the living tree,
framed by the field, the backdrop of other
fall foliage, starkness of color
pressing forth, demanding attention
after the fall rain and cool sunlight
warmed them for an instant
Fighting for attention
while I walk the girls home
after a Friday at school
living fungus, asking for a star turn
