AGAINST THE BLUE

“I may be getting old (you too,
My friend), but watch me twist and turn—
----Come climb me; just remove your shoes,
Place hands in bark (all fears adjourn);
----Now scamper up! Perspective new...
A chance to look around and learn
What autumn leafage seems to do;
To flame, to leap and fall: to burn.”
