“A Tangible Reminder”:
“Underfoot rustling unsilent leaves
Crackle electric ecstasy
Spice the autumn air,
A tangible reminder
That death can be a glory.”

“Alpenglow”:
“Even the rainbow never dreamed of this:
The touch of lastlight on snowy shoulders,
The kiss of dawn on crystal lips,
A rush of rarest red welling up to fill the mighty sky
With splendor.”

“Wondering When the Strings Will Snap” poem:
“The marigolds herald autumn’s colors already
In their sun-shrine faces, iconographic
Floral worship of their distant deity -- yet they
Die at the first touch of frost, unlike chrysanthemums,
The true flowers of fall.”
