An attempt at a coda

listening to Debussy - burning incense

The smoke rises - the saxophone wanders 

The garden of orchestration - gently perfumed

Autumn brushed  - all is low sunlight

The cat walks the green - idles

In procession - Sundays next to Advent 

Turning and thinking upon the position - 

The hold on the fruits - relaxes

The calendar pages turn and soon it will be Thanksgiving....leaves fall, minds wander, the world changes its attitude this time of year. I liked this one a lot. It has a lazy Sunday afternoon feel to it. Lydi**

Thank you Lydia I think I know what you mean - the observations noticed en passant through the window etc - perceptive lady.

i like the "idle cat walking the green"

and those Sundays next to Advent...yes that time is approaching...even with autumn signifying the end of summer, and much of nature getting ready to hibernate...there is still birth to think about...

i like the last line...i picture all of those fruits dropping from the vines...

this has a really nice scent to it...i feel Octoberish reading it.

Thank you Jacob but if you look on this as a metaphor for a life as was also impelling as a subtext the last line has a pognancy(?)

[jacob erin-cilberto]

yes, that is exactly how i did see it...a metaphor for life...and it works...and we all drop from the vine eventually...and then others are born to carry on what we started...and yes, a poignancy to the last line....

Thank you Jacob - must be doing something right my intention is about the transmission of mood - the words are almost secondary in a way
