Seasonal
"beyond the silence of summer's end"
what hangs in the air?
autumn's momentum
color of unabashed vigor
clouds lowering, unadorned
days snapped off by change
till cold stalks
like a hunched ghoul in a B movie
our arms hugging inside woolen sweaters
a richness of connection
October is captive of candy wishes
for children in chilly clumps of costume marching
freckled innocece before the bite of urgency
August's season
a temporary stint
limits of ownership
gone to spikes of melancholy
oh that time unburdened
like Chaplin twirling in a silent film
stealing spins of joy
when summer exits
its tracks in the brittle bashing of shorter days
graffiti marks of broken edges
seasonal lapping
in what's pruned away
but given back
in memory
remolded
