Autumn Diptych

I.
In East Oakland this afternoon
I watched morning glories
Cascade across the wire fence
That holds back barking dogs.
Flowers of autumn
Five point whirlygigs
Blue and red-violet
Creep over the sidewalk
Toward a squat old palm tree
Dropping its orange fruit.


II.
Cherry leaves are yellow.
Pear leaves are red.
The sun sets early, dusty pink.
A neighbor fixes his roof before
The winter rains.
