sunday autumn poem and autumn leaves

 autumn

 

in the dreamy silence

of the afternoon, a

cloth of gold is woven

over wood and prairie;

and the jaybird, newly

fallen from the heaven,

scatters cordial greetings,

and the air is filled with 

scarlet leaves, that, dropping,

rise again, as ever,

with a useless sigh for

rest--and it is autumn.

buckwheat pancakes, bacon and grapefruit juice for breakfast . . 

autumn leaves at father demo square . . 

 

 

greg and i had walked to the pet store in soho for a different type of kitty litter (hoping a change of litter helps the peeing situation - both kittens are sometimes urinating outside the box).

 

a new ice cream shop at bleecker and carmine streets . .

not bad . . but i didn't think it was as delicious as l'arte del gelato in chelsea market or amorino on university place, but still good! (the flavors were pistachio and coffee.)

and when i came home we shared a vanilla cream bomboloni from vesuvio bakery . . i guess it was a sweet treats kind of day.
