Before a Season Goes
and there is charm in the grayness
of stardust, like a meditation of fragile
incantations of a month near passing:
low fire. warm joy. cozy beds.
and so, as the year furrows and begins
to shred its own purple leaves, we sip
late autumn's honey that brought us
to a carousel of both regret
and answered promises.
somehow, night’s dreams are closing, but
we reach them through love’ s kohled ember.
