Aromatize

Shrivel and plummet, leaf and frond,    
beneath the charging clouds that blow    
through the cerulean cold beyond    
the broken nimbostratus glow...    
splitting the wanton solar ray    
to multitudinous pallid shades    
harnessing nature's neutral gray    
for autumn glory promenades    
in conference with the conifer    
and its windfall eau de cologne    
in all the places it will occur    
from needles to the lonely cone    
or the broadleaf equivalent    
from the vine maple 🍁, or the oak,    
where carotenoids ambivalent...    
season the season...with their smoke!
