Succession

Pastel renderings

evoke a

palette restricted to

innumerable hues

of three colors-

at least

that my eyes

can discern.

As autumn deepens

the once

Monette-like landscape

becomes sequestered

by forces

too gradual to

predict ebb

or

wane.

The breath of Superior-

the prodigious refrigerator

will decide.
