Autumn ii

your irises contain

bright chestnut flames

choice of tint for your hair

so well matched

~

we sat for three hours

before we parted

I could not resist saying

your eyes are beautiful

~

the season’s first wasp

dances like a puppet at my window

moves off uncertain

where to go from here?
