Heart of Autumn
By: Vandana and Noah Eaton
10/11/03

Raking leaves, forming the colors in crossword puzzles
Foraging the October interlude with September fire
I make contact with the abridged dusk
Bobbing for apples in this warm cider twilight
And your lingering grin comes to me like a yellow jacket
Savoring the rationed marrow from the raspberry bushes

Leaves falls down on the ground
It's autumn here and october too
September gone with the summer
memories of love and summer gone
and now in the heart of autumn

Bright lights shine out over the bridge
Tonight on the harbor it feels a bit too brisk
Wearing your knitted sweater takes everything back
Towing this wheelbarrow of pumpkins
I'm aware of all so many blessings
But your single one is Cool Whip on pumpkin pie
Shared between pilgrims
And children with dirty hands but happy faces...

Let the bright light of a sun comes
And let the love stay
in the autumn of love
all the leaves dry
and october stays
till the dawn...

I don't need no proof when it comes to God and truth
I can see the sun set and I perceive

Ahh, Noah... lovely to see your work in here again, especially something like this, a collaboration... you know that I love collaborative work and this is no exception. I'd have to say that the thing I appreciate most about this is its sensibility to the common, rustic experience of suburban humanity. Everyone knows what is written here, and yet it's articulated so well, that I cannot help but look out the window and renew my appreciation for autumn.

Very nicely written, you two... you should be proud of this.
