Crunch - Crunch - Crunch - Crunch

Bruce Trail off Dyers Bay Road - Bruce Peninsula - Tobermory - Ontario

The fresh smell of fall leaves brings life to my footsteps

they’ve shed their collective crowns
once ablaze with fiery color
maples, birches, walnuts,
all bare arms and fingers now
reach to the sky
stretching
for any warmth
getting the juices flowing

wrapping onto rocks
roots tendril out
clinging
seeking purchase
trip wire obstacles
peek out
from cast off adornments
once topping
hearty soldiers
of the wood

underneath,
the small
gather
burrowing
building bunkers
away from the path
of foragers
announced as they pass by
crunch, crunch , crunch, crunch
gorging for the coming fast
winter winds are coming
so much more needs to be done
