“Autumn Tangle” (1920) by William Henry Holmes
For Tom Hennen, Poet of Landscape
by Marel Aime Duclos
White golden light
Burns a hole
Into the day
Invisible flame
Speaks no ashes
On the ground
Distant trees
Stand immobile
Voiceless
No bird, no ground creature
Dare approach
Fear the blinding
Unseen in the foreground
Fragile human
Kneels awestruck
Light and leaf
Hold hands
Sigh in silence
