Mountain Meaning V - Autumn Storm
In the twilight autumn storm
Trampoline trees still green in the wind
Roared like oceans crashing a beach
Hail bouncing on their vinyl backs
Leaves shriveling in electric flames
Whipped from the tectonic clash of clouds
No music to the thunder
Bursts like bombs
A quiet came
Hours later
Our bedroom windows
Billow
With an overnight avalanche of black cold air
We at the bottom of the mountain
Flood of breath
A divinity
Dispelling our illusion
That we are separated from God
Under the blankets
My wife floats on a raft of dreams
Faintly murmuring her pasts with gasps
Mouth warming the back of my neck
Down my spine
Lifeline
A hand migrating underneath
Pulling me along
Inhaling exhaling pulsing together
Toward inevitable change of seasons.
