Favourite Season

A Poem by John Anderson

I get to walk on jig-saw puzzles
in my favourite season.

Always feet-ward my eyes
dart from piece to piece --
Dream carpets and puzzles turning
brown, pumpkin, cranberry, gold
coin collections rusted,
Chinese fans and willow tears
silverfish, almond husks,
chestnut leathers,
open palms tan,
Japanese lacquer paints,
cantaloupe crescents
pear skins and flesh
cedar slivers,
Miro designs,
crystallized citrus peels:
grapefruit, orange, lemon --

In my favourite season
the sun comes from the ground.
