Lines for autumn

I’ve been waiting to share these delightful few lines from Gideon Heugh for a while.

And now is the time.

Enjoy the smile.

LINES FOR AUTUMN

Leaves make their golden turn
unhurried,
then in cooler air
waltz to the damp ground
and in sweet-scented crowd
make happiness
for wellington boots.

+ Gideon Heugh, from Devastating Beauty, 2018
