Edith's September Song Single branch reddens Cold breath of swirling wind September trembles. Soft water flows Quiet air surrounds Yellow sun in sky. Watching the sun Heavy air drifts into me Make tea now. As virus multiplies Rumble in gut At war with yogurt. Yellow cottonwood Foretells the season's changing Outside my window. Feeders in shadow Seeds for waiting birds Where are my children today? Wild scarlet, orange and red Shoot up into eastern sky. Walking out at six-thirty. 39
