Terry: Poetry & Thought

A Weed

in the autumn wind

leans from the stone foundation

of the old stucco house

and wags its flowers at the moon.

The moon, in its own way,

wags and blooms.

I am sorry.

There is no more.

It is an autumn wind

that blows, and the weed

(I don't know its name)

knows it.
