The University of Victoria
All photos c. Gillian Cornwall, 2012.
The emerald greens have faded
The trees turn out their gold
Summer earnings spent
bearing fruit
or shady dealings
with strangers
The basswoods blush
to a flaming red
for soon they will stand bare
aquiver in the autumn wind
The morning holds a chill
a nudge of what's to come
Though fifty times I've seen the face of fall
surprise and awe in every one
-Gillian Cornwall, c.September, 2013.
