      always movement
      rivers flow to somewhere else
      leaves turn color, fall
      we, too, continually move
      to somewhere further on

      Michael Czarnecki lives in Wheeler Hill, NY. His poem and photo were inspired in Miles City, MT, while on a 5 week poetic tour, with readings in MI, MN, MT, OR and CA.

      in the wind
      I rake and gather
      leaves
      with thoughts of people
      I’ve known before

      Tom Clausen lives in Ithaca New York gathering insight and visions from the natural world he inhabits. He shares his daily walks and explorations online and poetry in many journals and books. The leaves pictured here have fallen in his own backyard.
