death of water
we gather a new morning
and the winds wave

October 23, 2019

summer’s sky blows smoke
as the wind waves its goodbye
a prisoner

striking a match
water bounds across death
as horizons shift

we are still summer
stars plucked from an absent sun
become your eyes

orange flame dances
while pumpkin squash soup simmers
wool sweater’s embrace

where the rain lands
air hangs heavy on shoulders
remnants of silence

covering morning gray
the air holds a smoky kiss
rusting leaves hang on
