James Wright Autumn Begins in Martins Ferry, Ohio



Gray faces of Negroes in the blast furnace at Benwood,
School bells blare and Shamble's Elementary lets out.
Trees brace for winds and nature  hardens 
beginning to cocoon itself.
Mr. Mihn closes shop early
and the sun sets soon after.
Bidding the day adieu.
Children walked their dogs and
parents waited on porches,
Light on.
It began a new routine
a keener eye, a new season.
