Autumnal Infinity

audio version

Edging the night

Obsidian silence

Hot with hush

Solitude and I are long-time lovers

Forget that fact

Savour this sweet second

Autumn ignoring infinity

The hoarse whisper of sea throwing itself at sand

Air chewing the hollow flute

Of my trunk, a blackened slash

A mountain of ash,

Still burning

Remembering snow

From five winters ago.
