the winter anthology
Vol. 8
Robert Dannenberg
“autumn became”
Autumn became
the turned wheel
pressing a track
that leaves no room.
It deepens, fills
weathers come far over lands—
a silent remainder birds exit.
The divide is surplus to the route
it sees through, each side
of the groove a well spring.
Uncoiled now, trampled now
it fits what it has to light
without
the clarity live,
a lid off the head
thin woods field.
