there’s a hole in autumn
that nothing can fill
a bottomless well
of rainwater and time
murky with summer’s
moldering dreams
and hours that drift
in watery sleep

it’s a vacuum that sucks
birdsong and green,
moonstone stars,
the rattling breath
of unleaving trees
pours them out
as black river water

bricked with silence and lined
with the patina of verdigris
the well sinks deeper
into the amber of autumn
and fossilized remains

the wonderful thing about being a poet is that you evoke so many emotions and feelings... and you did that!

So much light and shade in this... it was terrific!

and when you read it, it seems to bring forth many different feelings... that is the key to a great poem

excellent!
