Promise of another autumn

(From my poetry collection 'The Nameless Avenue')

Benediction
Autumn has a high fever
this year,
fallen leaves whimper
over the matter
on Velako woods,

Hoarse wind prefers
a sweeping clearance of
the weaklings;
the sound of wind
rolling the soil
declares decisions

a vigilant woodsman trudges
over his woods,
as his dress puffing up;
the beak sound of a wood pecker
halts him a while.

he bends down to pick
up a stone;
to take actions; but
in change of moods

he walks on thinking
benediction promises
another autumn
