Orange
The swirling light of a setting sun Turns every pip of summer Into a halfmoon-shaped dreamer Dreaming About a full and golden wheel Keep running towards another season Wrapped within the rind are ten fleshy carpels Ten thousand juicy associations

BARBARA F. LEFCOWITZ
Eclipse
The music is the same: the same papery castanets of October leaves as their dry edges meet in a light breeze, briefly touch. Likewise the palette: familiar reds and deep yellows, the most intense blue, as if an overly generous dose of cobalt had slipped into a glaze. Nor can I say the air's texture differs from that of a year ago: taut, a starched sheet with knife-sharp hospital corners. Still the furious madness of a few from the other side of the globe has so deranged the seasons a wintery dark eclipses the autumn sun, whose warmth I can fee l but cannot believe even as it touches my skin.

RICHARD K. JORDAN
Stopping Off at Julie's
On the way back to D.C., I make a point to stop off at Julie's place, a quaint little split-level in the affluent suburbs of Philadelphia. My old college friend Julie. Always full of surprises. Last time, it was warm apple pie, served a la mode. So sweet. So perfect. Just the way I like it. This time, it's the enticing aroma of pumpkin muffins, my favorite, seeping from the oven. Sugar and spice whisked away in the crisp October breeze, as she opens the door and her arms to greet me. Then there are the dark glasses. The bruised cheek. The swollen lips. Those lips, longing - aching for a gentle kiss.
