Ember of September
cooling...
silky leaves erode
into a crisp.
cradled
by the tangled mass of grass.
laying
clean exposed
to all those faintest rays
the sun pours out of ladels.
drowned
in dying shines
of summers
now disabled.
gentle breezes
carry potent whiffs
of our diseases.
every imperfection
captured
in a wind.
that season snapshot
we take
when sunsets
paint apricot lakes
and tangerine skies.
lemon rain
that flurries
pinches all
our taste bud worries calm
within a soothing flurry.
thoughts of
stream elixirs
betwixt
a sky orgasm.
how we spasm
lightest lusts
upon the canvas clouds:
that dust
that seems to just
materialize
before our lazy eyes
makes hazy
all our
atmospheric cries.
buttery chocolate swirls
rich sky scream
whirls
around in
nippy ice cream drafts.
leaf carpets
spread around
park benches
painted brown
with tree bark sounds:
that knock on wood
reverberates
throughout the yearning ground
reflecting
all the imagery
contained
within a solemn branch.
autumn signs.
autumn lines
fill a sheet designed
from autumn's very child.
skies that smile
clean until they drift asleep
and all the stars exiled
come to fruition.
scatterplotted
against blackened
satin sheets
layered with desire.
all of this
contained
within
my dewy tear.
