A Trivial Day in Early Autumn

Pearl Andelson

From “Worker in Marble”

A CHINA lily cup

Upon a pool

Lifts up

Its bowl.

Over the pale sky

Frail clouds;

A butterfly

About the garden flowers.

Subtle

The wind

Among

The falling leaves.

The grass

Is wanly brittle

Beneath the feet

Of those who pass.
