On a canvas of slate-grey flagstones
lie the treasures
of an October leaf fall,
cut-outs of a collage,
fixed by a light rain,
and boasting a palette of subtle hues
redolent of pumpkins, plums and a dash of mustard.
Siennas, ochres, and apple jades juxtaposed.
A self-assembled masterpiece,
wrought
from windy chaos,
and too lovely to walk on.
