25. INTERPLAY

Green expanse,
   shimmering glass
      roof.
Wind there is,
   water runs
      nowhere.
Glimpses:
   Cherub face
      vanished in water;
Age-green watery metal fixtures:
Victorian cherub, youth,
green with age, what is this vision?
Trees, over the flat roofs away,
green and young beyond wetness
   in wind.
Cberubs: trumpeting memories,
Nautilus shells filled
   with tomb ash and yet
   green leaves
   scrubbed and dripping
   in cleansing wind!

Amazon e-book page Thank you for reading. If you love it, tell your friends. Please post a favorable review at Amazon, Good Reads, and other online resources. If you want to thank the author, you may also buy a copy for the low price of a cup of coffee. It's called Read-a-Latte: similar (or lower) price as a latte at your favorite coffeeshop, but the book lasts forever while the beverage is quickly gone. Thank you (JTC). PS: I wrote most of these poems (except the title poem, October Leaf) as a teenager, so I published them under the pseudonym A. T. Nager.
