Your Average Autumn Tree

Looking through my reading glasses
Your average autumn tree has become
a delightful impressionist painting!

Blurry green, red, and orange highlights
overlap each other, skip
and play in the light breeze.

Sunlight bounces from branch to branch
like fat paint splotches—
sitting, dripping, glistening.

The wall and window make a perfect frame.
I’d like to hang you in
my living room, all year ‘round.
