The forest floor is carpeted with yellow maple and elm leaves. Only the buckthorn leaves are still green and have yet to fall from the trees. The forest is much more quiet, as many birds have started migrating south. The canopy cover is about sixty-five percent. It rained a lot this week, so the ground was moist.

forest floor
underneath the canopy
in a blanket of yellow leaves
worlds exist within
a footstep in the dark moist soil
left by a watcher in the woods,
stepping through time and space.
a drop of water
is teeming with life —
a drip of mud is a natural community
a rotting log is an ecosystem
here is where the forest is found
in every inch of space.
