Dozens of contrails stitch a patchwork sky
Warm autumn hues embrace unbound edges
Of visible horizons

Harvest tractor trails reap what was sewn
Crisp rusts and russets seep through the fabric
Of woodlands and streams 

Roads, fences, and rails block out patches
Nature’s palettes transform vast forests
Of speckled hills and heaving mountains

Shades of grey pillow above our heads
Shades of grey blanket below our feet
Lost in tangles of unwoven strands

Hours spent planning, piecing, and placing
Soft textures comfort offspring’s successor
And aging progenitor 

Keen senses contrive to spawn sentiment
Contrast and constancy blend together
Through various naps and grains
