Matted and slippery
on the streets
Fallen leaves wetted, strewn
Odorous Pumpkin pulp air
swoons
A child learning how
to walk through
Jack-o-lantern funny
faces
From sour-cider cyber
places
Cinnamon innocence with
nonchalance
Grandpa costumed for
an apple dumpling
To a Renaissance-family coupling
Indigenous trees of flaming
lanterns
A distance up the orchard
slope
Find delinquent seas
of nature’s hope
Egrets glide through banks
of gold
Rain trees pour on
Han River path
Taiwan-Pittsburgh, bring
me forth
Oriental beauty in
her bones
Carmine warmth the natives know
How lanterns on the rain
trees grow
A granddaughter her parents have given
Pomegranate Chinese
apple raven
In silvery dreams
fulfilled, adorned
Crispy in the autumn
night
Candles flicker, every light
Where love and two
together made one
Under one high-arched
crested moon
So near so near, so
soon so soon
