First week of autumn—
some leaves beside a streambed
forsake green for red.

Blue Monday: Stairway

A locked gate at the top of a stairway in Sedona, Arizona stops pedestrians.
 


If upstairs was where you would go,
There’s something I think you should know:
You cannot go past
The gate that’s shut fast—
You’ll have to stay down here below.

a blues trombonist
mounting the rainbow staircase
for his midnight gig—
smoke from an open doorway
anticipating the notes

Red paper lantern—
mistaking it for ripe fruit,
wrens peck at its flesh.

While two hens argue
over which should get more corn,
mice cop some kernels.
