Twisting my way
into a dark jungle
pushing past awkward and wild.
As a valiant oak offers
cool shade
from the blistering sun.
Long forgotten leaves
surrender their hold
fall away
and expose old scars.
Submissive browns
reconciled reds and oranges
long-suffering yellows
raked and
heaped into piles
ready to finally
appease the gods.
A kaleidoscope
briefly
soothing the ache
that gnaws
like a fungus
mushrooming
white circles on the lawn.
