The sun poured pigment
deep down into the earth
in the spring
let it ferment
and deepen through the heat of the summer
till finally
the roots pushed deep
bringing the crimson to the leaves
the butter yellow
obsidian black
putting on their best clothes
to brighten the wet days
drenching the world in color one last time
before white fills their mantles
and frost gilds their branches
