In fall the world is upsidedown:
instead of branches
roots reach for the sky
and leaves reach down for branches
clutched in earth
Soon snow will bury all
and ghosts of summer
will play under all
on bed of leaves
not needing shade of naked limbs
to shield them from
the blackened undersun
Until the spring
when leaves creep
out of limbs
and all is right again
