Acorns

                                                                  

 

Fall is the tepid gusts

Rustling the oak trees' leaves above me,

Snapping acorns from their limbs,

Which cause a plangent commotion

As they plummet earthward,

Disturbing attendant silences,

Pelting the porch roof,

Relentlessly thumping the ground —

Explosions nobody around this shoreline

Can possibly miss,

Even if they're not listening.

After all, fall is all about falling, isn't it?
