Cars Rusting by Oklahoma Roadside
Between autumn and winter
today, I see
undecided scrub oaks…
brown, red, green
shaking a year
full of leaves.
Through my rear-view
mirror,
that colorful image
…(leafy indecision)
passes into
the middle distance
Japanese paint so well.
Above, the geese fly
a wobbly wedge,
south against
the strong winds.
Muted sun
on the horizon
reveal
the Modern Art
of old Pontiacs
rusting by
the side of road.
