the proverbial gorgeous day
"the beauty of autumn in New England,"
they say
but by this do they mean
just the leaves? the smell in the air?
no one mentions
the most important parts:
how light (in and out behind clouds)
intermittently braids itself
into the dark curls of his hair
an d how as he walks
the canvas edges of his jacket flap
backward around his moving thighs
even his body is lost in thought
