Back to Childhood

balerina after dancing…
slowly on the shiny floor
the moon in her slippers

still in love…
a ruby chestnut leaf hangs
by the waning moon

another Endless Column…
the sky turns gold between
the chestnuts on the avenue

first day of school…
on the freshly poured asphalt
autumn paints

getting off one stop earlier…
let’s find our bench
from student years

overripe raspberries…
a berry berry
busy bee

I wipe the misted
window of the car…
fairyland in a snow globe

peeling an orange…
zest after zest
back to childhood
