Turning points
The gold is still heavy
thick as oil paint on the fields
and the air rustles with voices
the dry corn husks
a muttering ocean
of summer ebbing
and the warbler is singing again
a conversation with himself
in the quiet before the cranes
rattle the roof of the sky
with their hooligan cries
winter on their tails
