These Blueberry Bushes

by John McKernan

Sound
Like harps

Their red leaves
Plowing the cool October air
Into furrows of light

The Translators
Section in the Help
Wanted Classifieds
Should be ten pages thick

As for the Lutes
With the Unicorn Strings
Played with a Quill of Phoenix
They’re ready to surf the December snow drifts
On their way to the April waves of White Lilac
