Defi nitely Autumn
in Colorado
Strong wind today.
Its magic dust has made Mt.
Blanca disappear in a gray haze.
And right now it's trying its best to
rip every single leaf from the trees,
And it's succeeding.
A river of golden leaves races
across the park.
The real river, the Rio Grande,
is the highest I've ever seen,
Its surface covered with
small wavelets.
So different from yesterday when
the fall color of the trees
Was mirrored in the still water.
Hair blowing, coat zipped up,
bracing myself against the wind,
I walk along the paved path
beside the river.
The leaves bounce
along with a clickety-clack,
clickety-clack sound.
There is no one in the park but me.
Don't they fi nd it exciting:
The roaring of the wind
in the trees and the rustling
of fall leaves underfoot?
I do!
