Walking the Dog

It is nice to walk today
in the woods beneath
autumn-gray skies.
Over the trail
my boots fall
mechanically.
Yellow and russet
some splashed in red
leaves carpet the spongy
swollen earth drinking deep
in the dust of an arid summer gone
lingering in a warm kiss
showing no signs of winter
except patches
of thin naked air.
