                                                       A SUNDAY WALK 

It was a No Drive Sunday because of the oil embargo. We are living in Switzerland, and, with a few friends, we walk from our village to another for lunch at the auberge.

                                                      the long hike–

                                                      golden maples
                                                      wave us on

The road is wide but rough. Mostly used for heavy farm equipment.                       

                                                      the autumn breeze–

                                                      a new layer of scent
                                                      from the auberge

We congratulate ourselves. Who needs a car? Apparently others didn't either. The parking lot has several bicycles and the dining room is full

                                                      crows
                                                      fly out of the corn stubble–
                                                      their jeering calls
