Restless Autumn

RESTLESS AUTUMN

bared branches dinosaur
necks arc over drizzled asphalt mist
hugs us in its ambivalent
grace chiding us for our
impatience

you arrive resplendent unseasonably
warm like the day valleyed between
fronts and angle yourself
as though it were preordained

positioned fate your
choreographer you share
your rich moods with our
moodiness looking
to lock onto a visible truth

you frown the air
cools you smile a warmth
of incandescent
surety

dusk brings the ordinary
no ordinary dusk
for you brought light
to setting
