harvest moon a falling leaf catches the light

harvest moon a falling leaf catches the light
harvest moon—
on the windowsill a bowl
catching the light
their stories
in my bones —
harvest moon

harvest moon
so many shoppers
looking for bargains…

after harvest moon nach dem Erntemond
how quickly the apples turn wie rasch die Äpfel
into juice zu Saft werden
.
I spent this morning making apple juice. Well, not exactly! Driving the apples to the
Gardeners’ Association in Fischach, to be made into juice, I mean!
Here is the process:
Loading the apples
Extracting the juice from the pulp
Heating and then filling the juice into special containers
.
after harvest moon
taste of autumn lingers
in the juice
.
nach dem Erntemond
Herbstgeschmack
im Saft
