swell in the late autumn sun
this year's gift to the next

the vivid thought
of your last ever breath
your last — for ever
and the morning mist gathers on the valley floor
and the autumn geese are calling out on their long journey home

there was a young man from Mars
whose neck was shaped just like a vase
but as he started to sing
what a horrible din
from the flowers that sprout from his chin

so — are you with me now
in these cold tight dark days
to guide my way — for now?

are you with me now
in these long ink stained nights
to place your thoughts with mine

your youth
still stops the years from passing by
for now — just for now

high tide has turned and truth is ebbing fast away
past the shelter of the harbour's strong stone wall
and on beyond the quay and the lifeboat station
past the crooked rocks and subtle shifting sands
far out, beyond our shining guiding light
and on and on into the deep dark night.

cooling autumn wind
the long days of summer heat
a quiet lament

this equinox
a time of peace and freedom
tilts towards the dark

short days
cascading into longing nights
a tipping point

summer blooms
with all their joyous hope
incarcerated — by ice

a series of haiku exploring the changing seasons, the equinox being a tipping point towards winter and the loss of light and freedom that it brings, and the analogy of the political winter that is steadily drawing in.

such somber sadness
as day slips slowly into night
and seasons turn
