A Walk Alone in Falling Sunshine
In memory
A Walk Alone in Falling Sunshine
- in memory of my brother Scott
****
golden leaves float downward
spiraling to soft landings
lightly touched by dribblets of rain
🫶
teardrops stain my heart,
a flattened and squared nucleus
hazel eyes speared by all the
yellow brilliance
bursting burgundy
brazen bronze
Autumn has arrived
again,
her colors blazing as I’m
walking
walking now as the final sibling,
ambling alone.

Author note: I was the youngest of four siblings, with three older brothers, spaced apart by years. The oldest brother was twelve years older, the next, seven, and Scott, the closest in age, was two and one half years older. Sadly, Scott died in late September 2024 in Tampa, FL, after hurricane Helene wrought her damage and right before Milton roared through.
