EARLY AUTUMN
A sunny,
crisp day. Here and there a splash of
red, a tinge of yellow. In the maple, one thick branch glows golden. The rest remains green. The coloring on most
trees is random, almost quixotic, except for the dogwoods along the fence. They
look to be painted by an artist obsessed with symmetry, dark red on the tips of
the leaves, dark green towards the stems. Each tree a copy of the others.
