autumn blossom octet

garden spider stockstill in rhododendrons
long since gone past; bee haunts the white camellia

down the avenue; rough cat’s ear inches up
yellow, scrawny afterthought taking root at

that intersection under a sycamore;
empty park where desire dissipates in light—

thursday’s suburst turns the sky invisible:
in this brilliance death flowers inside my chest—
