Autumn in Klimt's NeighborhoodMerisi's Postcards from Vienna

Late Afternoon
The sky looked almost white,
the sun a washed-out lemony pallor,
a moody autumn elegy all around,
were it not for the leaves still on the trees
that refused to tone down their golden splendor

Snowberries
When was the last time
you picked one of those berries
and let it pop?

Brick Gate Post
November hues
for Klimt's paintbox

Photographed this afternoon
in Hietzing, Vienna's 13th District,
a short walk from where Gustav Klimt
had his studio the last six years of his life.
