Invisible clouds,                                                                                                                                       
their itinerant shadings                                                                                                                          
roaming peak to peak                                                                                                                       
along Sandwich Range,

etch a burnished fall chorus                                                                                                                  
of moaning tree fronds,

first on Rattlesnake,                                                                                                                                
later silhouetting shore pines                                                                                                              
till all is blended

in a portrait of                                                                                                                                         
irrefutable stature                                                                                                                                  
and opalescence.
