The Perfect Day

Leave a comment

The crunch of leaves,

the face in the tree trunk,

(Zachary Hand to God?)

the whine of cars on Route 6,

the hum of a plane overhead,

the blazing maple framed

by a vibrant, clear, blue sky, 

the bare tree limbs stretching,

the purple beautyberry

against a woody stem, and

the dog and the pond

all create a perfect day.
