A balloon caught
on the lilac
branch stripped bare
by yesterday’s
gusts
twists
free and unfurls
its silver skin
across
the dim insistence
of dawn
and turns
out to be
a ghost
after all

Fall mornings have a way.

Oooh, this is beautiful! I really love that second stanza but the whole thing is lovely.
