Fall Foliage #9

Slightest hint of blush upon her cheek
pinkish with orange tinge

perhaps a bit discomfited
for losing summer's youthful green

some wrinkles now across her brow
from shriveled-up excitements

yet satisfaction emanates
as if recalling play beneath her leaves

a gentle quivering follows
presaging ecstasy and loss

soon to happen in the next act
explosive beauty, then oblivion.
