Autumn Equinox

Autumn has better shadows with its

Slanted light and sky-forge sunsets,

Frost-hinting dews washing the

Chill morning meadows.


The sun affirms our compass truths

And we nod sadly to darker days,

Wondering how long summer's

Lingering ribbons will deceive.


Now, under glass-blown blue skies,

As east winds bare fresh fangs,

A rich crumble of bronze-red leaves

Carpets the dying path to winter.
