Poetry
Autumn
by David Ortmann
written in 1991
In introspective rapture
leaning toward an infant trust,
our souls break ground in the
violet, green, and brown of your
eyes widening in wonder.
You are my stars!
One moment,
under a fall moon.
naked in innocent awareness.
I feel you
crackle like a
kindling fire.
for Nick Eckert
