This is just to say


The kids and I have raked
the leaves
into one big
pile

which I
am sure you hoped
would be dumped
in the woods

Forgive us
we could not resist
the impulse
to jump

    The same spirit as WCW's poem--both so sensual--both drawn by impulse. This is beautiful.

    And thank you, Edie, for taking me back to autumn, when the weather here in Minnesota is decidedly winter.
