Like an eye through a keyhole the moon's eclipse obfuscates sun's white incandescence, turns the solstice to morgue-gray. As mist rises from a charcoal lake laced with ice's torn edges minions of leafless oak and alder witness in slate silence winter's pewter ghost, floating phoenix-like above July's embers when water shimmered with indigo, rippling tangelo butterflies in its wake. Now sirens of graphite shores lure like dark sentinels into platinum light to unleash the fortunes of this nether wasteland.
