Old Fields

November stilled. 
Air hangs like ether
Carrying the distant sleepy
Songs of circular saws
Counterpoint of cars, and the
Periodic rise of a child’s laughter.

This sound seeps
Between definition and opaque
Holding fast to forgotten fields
Lost............In............Words
Found in wind-frayed books of years
Settled in greys and grasses
Ruffled by the hum of eyes.

Fall is a field of words.
The eastern part of the Columbia River Gorge.
