on this night without a moon —
the sound of wind chimes

the fluorescent yellow leaves
hiding the sidewalk

the old creaking fence —
flashes in the moonless sky
without the thunder

after the shower —
just a few scattered blackbirds,
a low-flying hawk

golden leaves pressed flat
against the basketball court —

as Orion disappears —
just before sunrise
just before sunrise

cool September breeze —
smoke from the chiminea,
two crickets chirping

perched on a stop sign
the mynah bird screams at cars —
first rain of autumn
