Planet's Evening Palette

The Planet’s Evening Palette

yellow-orange,

the sky—

sunset’s scattered light

brushed over pale clouds

stretched across the blue;

cold grey of steel towers

hum with power

flowing through its arms of wires

extending miles over 

blue-green sage and yellow rabbitbrush

around American elms

riddled with Dutch elm disease

yet still growing out, still shading

with dangling yellow leaves

nourished by summer’s golden rays

as valley quail flutter, flutter, flutter away

when I step into the frame of fall’s landscape 

and autumn’s evening palette,

colored with the powers 

of sunshine, electricity, 

and nature’s foliage.
