My Superhero
sleeps beside me in my bed
Her name is Mary.

*

Seven linked Haiku's about fall
.
Blue intense and deep,
like enamel crockery;
the clear autumn sky.
.
Trees bare without leaves
penetrate the autumn sky
like eager lovers
.
Hills filled with Pine Trees
an emerald horizon,
a destination.
.
I light the pinestraw,
It smells like childhoods autumn.
The smoke surrounds me.
.
I want to undress
and feel the sun on my skin,
let it caress me.
.
Could I run away
into the autumn forest,
a naked savage?
.
The sun races west
the breeze carries the smoke north
along with my heart.
