death of water
we gather a new morning

death of water
we gather a new morning
and the winds wave
© Amanda Stemen – 2019
summer’s sky blows smoke
as the wind waves its goodbye
a prisoner

striking a match
water bounds across death
as horizons shift
© Amanda Stemen – 2019
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
© Amanda Stemen – 2019
covering morning gray
the air holds a smoky kiss
rusting leaves hang on
