Take an autumn walk, a man
and a woman stepping
their points along the path,
attempting balance, ignoring
the small wind rising in their breath.
Take one slipper of witchweed,
woven like the black racer that uncurled
suddenly on the side of the road
and drove his magic between them,
scalding a spot of pavement.
