As a young thrush in first flight,
or unsteady lamb down mountain rock…
So Nature falls from lofty heat
into Autumn and her bed of sunset garlands
then galloping on Aeolus’s Steeds, turns

rewinding in segments
the lever gives pause
for bold play in the past-times
for warding off thoughts
memos random to find

Lock compressed retinae;
lids spasming, birth visions,
and beg to awake
Pen-tips stab and carve script thoughtless
with tongues of fox-fire round my neck.
and floor-boards blaze with swampgas visions
all clocks perch rigid, hands held tall…
Eyes all-seeing, sons of Argus
and piteous spectres peek past panes
but it’s no letter, or invitation;
Malign jibes in soft quatrains
Read like a offer from arachnids
To sweetly mend my sweater
tiny fingers tangle pressing
spark my soul, arcs tracing lines.
the laughter in her warm, soft face
speaks a silent choice to mine.
As the house burns…
reluctance implodes,
and each sad heart
reconciles.
In ashes,
Love bares it’s soul intention
and bravely dares to smile.
