"As the Forest Falls Away to Red"

"As the Forest Falls Away to Red"

The wav’ring wavelengths of leaves
as the forest falls away to red,
to orange, to brown, to black and winter,
as the rustling yellow ocean overhead

Breaks upon the brown barken shadows
of petrified men, and viperous roots
that wind, bend, wend, and weave
through mountain’s metamorphosis.
