September 30th (for Dad)


The park is shedding
its tree debris--
nuts and leaves,
twigs and seeds,
crunching under
our feet.

Sky keeps sweeping
the sun away
under its endless
tarp of gray.

But around the bend,
in a low swath
of grass, sea-lavender
crocus  stand—
so sweetening
Autumn’s big plans.
