A fall sky in slumber
warming fan brush strokes,
horsehair bristles,
pushed across the fall tableau
Deep burgundies and dark below
Headlights on
Down the road
round the bend
the view brighter
champagne and plumb and wisp
a bluing of the sky
Another wind
down the twisting backroad
translucent yellows
screens of color
Farther on
white takes the stage
above a fireball flame sun
Then the sun filled
the windshield below the visor
warming my face
on this fall morning
after the dark
(Raymond A. Foss)
