Fall Mountain in Appalachia
A patchwork of fluffy red, yellow, orange and brown
with slight green curves running through them
They look like layered blotches from a distance
on a hill.
Walking around every morning twice around
my university campus felt like eternal
joy all the while moving.
There were two hills that opened up two chances
for me to see the autumn view of the distant
massive, living inclines ahead.
I pushed myself more upon reaching
the base of those two hills
and it was worth doing so as I
felt strongly for those brief scenes
of pre-winter eye candy.
