the trees stood undressed
final glory of autumn
lost to winter snow

Such a beautiful, yearning sadness in these thoughts!
A tree stood undressed -- that's an incredible line. It absolutely captures the image. Marvelosity!

This is a kind of lostness that I celebrate: the transition from autumn to winter.
