ghostly silhouettes




ghostly silhouettes
after rain and wind, dark leaf
stains on bare pavement

Two solid days and nights of much-needed rain, accompanied by stiff wind that rips the colorful autumn leaves from the trees and harries them along the ground. Oak and maple leaves, plastered to the pavement by the rain, seep their pigments into the porous concrete. Then the wild wind blows them away, leaving dark silhouettes, ephemeral artwork.
