Autumn Haze

Haze continues

to shroud, dulling

crimson leaves,

russet ends of twigs,

and yellow lingerers,

spotted with black.

The yellow globe

above our small valley

has disappeared into

a cloudy atmosphere.

Before and after the rains,

mist appeared, staying

long after we grew weary

of missing the sun.
