[bodytext] => The corner of Melrose Avenue Drips with autumn color. The ripened leaves, saturated In peach hues and two shades of Fruit punch, Pull tight the elastic sky behind them. Eight easy apples hang and cat-nap Until an ambitious hand ends One’s sleep. Here are the killing fields. Here, Where youthful color bows to Winter’s fervor. An uncommon wind will pull The leaves from their homes, From their sappy umbilical chord, And create a palleted torrent, A regicide of summer and those things More lively. Spring never conquers so violently, He approaches as an heir to the throne Of a tired king, a wilderness for the Season’s taking. Yet each, in its way is equally as pretty. In life, there exists a more subtle beauty, While one more intimidating embodies One’s sleep.
