The sun shone brightly through the
Kitchen window clipping the edge

Of the upper cabinet highlighting
The green stain and pattern of the

Grain of the wood, moving across
The sink and cutting board down

To the edge of a lower cabinet show-
Ing the pattern of the natural brown

Oak. As he sat at the counter, he
Watched the warm rays of the Indian

Summer sun move across the drying
Dish towel hanging on the door of

The range leaving it completely
In a shadow as fall passes by.
