Home I.
by Kelsey Peterson
Maples spear the hills,
turn them red,
leaves layered thick like
oil paint unmixed.
From your window,
it’s a picture.
Standing beneath them,
look up to see through
red lenses,
shifting,
the sky.
One lands at your feet.
The dried leaf,
speckled brown,
skitters.
You watch
until it’s out of sight.
Soon, the trees are bare.
