so much depending


so much depending

red outside
at last
plus nearer the back window

late fall
but fall

scratching
speaking to the season
as
colors from cold
should

and if
there’s no relation
then
it’s all anticipation
falling
as it were
into each one’s magic

I prefer Christopher in conversation. In writing, I use C L Couch because it’s a genderless form of my name and, frankly, easier—I have severe writer’s cramp. I mean to be a poet writing spiritual and occasional verse. The photographs used permanently here—for the banner, for my profile—were taken by Debra Danielson, a photographer and friend. You may enjoy more of her work at debra.danielson.org. If you would credit me when quoting my work, I'd be thankful. As I am thankful for your presence here.
