October 7th 19
Autumn settles on the boat pond
Central Park trees
Green to Orange to Yellow
On the pond
To radio control sloops
race
through fallen leafs__
An imitation
America cup
Both sailing douth
Driven on a crisp northwesterly___
Central Park
Not the East Village
Rosy red cheek children
Race around the pond
At Arm’s Reach
From four nannies
Three young mothers
I remember my youth
Change of seasons
Summer to autumn
I remember the Wind
Through the trees
Of the Blue Hills
Like then
All the colors
So special
The blue of the sky
The white of the clouds
Silver and gray too
And the trees___
Working the color spectrum
From Green yellow to red
Under
The strong sunlight
Hearing the children’s laughter
Remember mine
And my mother’s laughter
So long ago in our backyard
In the Blue Hills.
Laughter
Same as Central Park
Forever young___
