Autumnal Orange
Do you remember the broken cat-tails?
Cotton entrails blowing about in autumnal orange?
Do you remember the shoreline along that pond?

Finding cat-tails blowing about in autumnal orange.
Seeing it for the very first time.
Your discovery, your very own to have.
And I was just a witness,
Watching Cat-tails blowing in autumnal orange.
