Chicagoetry: LongshadowLongshadow Every fall Lingering in the garden A partial eclipse Summer's short lease The black lake, Of gorgeous death: Shocking gold, Silent fireworks Undaunted by the wind-chilled Here's the simple refreshment The ground more yellow, Arrange the gourd, In ritual we reify Laments both sacred I wish I was taller, thinner, Of the return to campus, Indeed: A harvest An all-too-brief And to mourn. In every turning leaf I say: Savor quaint pleasures Is what tends to last. And will fall Back into the earth. Now: A sturdy boot, Of the Fool. Every turning leaf (Unwittingly?) Endured. - J.J. Tindall is the Beachwood's poet-in-residence. He welcomes your comments.
