Fire
Red and russet brown
Bright as black letters against white
Twirling towards blacktop
Cascading from an autumn burnt bough
Tiny as this stanza
Carry me in your palm
Like a phrase that catches alight
In your memory
Press me between beloved verses
And I promise to flutter out
One afternoon
Brittle yet still fire red
A poem to
Fall
circular staircase
