At the Edges (Day 1036)

Yesterday we sipped summer 

warmth   barely gold at the edges

while a cerulean wash of sky

fluttered above faces tilted

to catch the last drop of light


Once aqueous green  the woods 

have gone transparent   bare 

branches scraped clean by

an icy wind   blankets of leaves 

heaped at the foot of every tree


Today we opened our eyes to 

a gray world   hills and steeples 

of distant churches crunching 

as we walked under the round 

shoulders of ancient hills
