Late Afternoon

cold coffee
and French toast from last night’s baguettes
splash of bad wine just to finish the bottle
sunglasses shield souls worn open
simmering with scents of
leaves first fallen stirred
in soup thick fog
pouring through that hair of yours
threading Berkshires to Taconic ridge
in the midst of your raising
and the heart of your fall
ride with me.
