a play of shine


My garden blazes shades of amber
in this autumn of light


west sun diamond bright
on the spider net


leaves pricked half-way
between sky and earth glow gold


a ruby red apple
burning russet flames.


These are my heart-stones,
held safe for winter,


a curation of light,
a play of shine.
