The Elements



Aging
I forget names
With me the earth
Perhaps untimely

Lurking
For a fistful of sky
Still blue
The leaves
Fondle the

Brusque breeze

Scorched
Wounds learn
To heal inflamed

Mourning
in silence
Frozen
As the glaciers
Ought to be

I embrace
What they say
Nothingness

October


In the whoopsie land
October is special
The autumn fairies
Dance a hip hop
And the winter elves
Wake up from deep slumber
Waiting......watching........wondering
When the sky will turn grey
Clouds will stoop down
The vale and kiss
Off it's hues
And the sun will shrug off
It's shine and hide into its shrine
Beyond the horizon
Where the ocean will 
Sing icy tales of vacant shores

It will hurt first
Then it will be just another day
The ochre will take over the crimson
And the yellow will birth a branch
Of scraggy wails
And the birds will dig their heads deep
Into the hollows of the earth

When you and me will fold in
Our words in a blanket of
Pitch dark silence and patiently
Wait for
Another moon
A few stars
A silky breeze
And dreams 
That will make us smile
All over again
