Hello Autumn. (Response to)


Still warm,
hot bright world under the desert sun
the heat lingers at night,

red canyon brings the moon undertow
and the night chill is just an exhale
over the rocks soon to simmer,

temperate cold only after the passing of midnight,
choice decision of living in the gold glow
emanating from the sappy pines,

miniscule orbs of light stretching shadows across the floor,
but there’s the shape of prints left
somewhere across the warm glass globe,

where remnants of cold cling to
shoe bottoms and when shook, seen
particles of stolen ice tumble loose,

a place where howls are emphatic of
lingering blue, small horizons sinking over
the white cold and grey,

but I am here and
they are they,
warm and wondering

when I might see
such a
thing.
