Paint-dappled Carpeting

Craig W. Steele

Leaves twist and flutter like bright butterflies,
wafting and tumbling amid the wind’s sighs:

Nature’s confetti drifts down without sound
as paint-dappled carpeting covers cold ground.

Despite tepid sap-blood that all trees possess,
none can resist autumn’s chilling caress.
