Autumn Leaves volume 7 number 5 |
| bird by bird the toddler kisses her storybook |
| afternoon tea the cat curls into a square of sun |
| morning coffee half a cinnamon twist before yoga |
| spring fever he kisses each freckle in no special order |
| at the beach— all his tattoos spell Mother |
| morning chill sandals crushing shells they talk of divorce |
| almost dusk specks from the sky settle near the river |
| dinner for one touching her photo he says grace |
| rummage sale her husband in the chair not worth keeping |
| evening train the woman chats with a man asleep |
| daybreak we sip bitter coffee rehashing last night |
