that first autumnal crisp air
the moon, a low hanging scimitar
day after a seasonal rain
even the mud sceams October

the grease-coated starling
protests salvation
after the manner of his saviors

the mud left from one more drought
caked to what used to be legs

there is no reflection just a baboon tossing rocks in the pool

wondering at the ripples unaware of depth
