into September,
asters and goldenrod
accept the invitation
for this month
of transition.
purple and lavender,
assume their places
on this early autumn stage.
from the percussion section;
acorns and hickory nuts
begin to pound the ground,
zip through layers of leaves,
bounce off the inverted canoe.
And in the evening,
as the air cools,
crickets slow their song.
