The House of Erly
The shadow of a leaf
dances across the sunny bark,
a rollicking corps de ballet
whose director could not
have accounted for
such loyalty when
the principle had been
so easily seduced by autumn.
Harvest
The tomatoes, crestfallen
along the sill.
Sallow, green Tetrarchs
ousted, in the all
but conquered garden.
