Lilac Dusk
In dusk's umbral mist
phantoms hover
across August's white embers,
humming their pale lilac chant
through bare trees
chiming with fledgling icicles.
Fields of vestal amethyst
splay past frozen fences
and sepia skeletons
of summer grass.
I listen
to diaphanous lyrics
of a mauve moon
from my gelid porch,
throwing coffee
from my hot cup
to watch it freeze
in mid air
and fall like rhinestones
on the waiting ground.
