crinkling maple leaves carpet yard
-------------------------------pure piercing music of autumn
ten points on brittle tan surface
-------------------------------harmony of tone and structure
thousands have fallen
-------------------------------notes descend to a scattered unison
tree
bare
methodically gather them up
-------------------------------dissonant wind howls through ears
machine launches them into billowing bag
-------------------------------melodies circle perimeter of existence
dumping dusty debris in garden
-------------------------------notes held in agonizing intensity
mountain of dryness---------leaving
yard
empty
