“Autumn descends”

Autumn descends

Old leaves and lost light, /

days of autumn descend on /

young cat and stone bench.

“Sometimes”

Sometimes

Sometimes, what I see, /

heavy yet light in the sky, /

are moments of you.

“Flee”

Flee

I flee from myself, /

the I without the other, /

the other you made.

“Latte-dah”

Latte-dah

Summer is over, so Starbucks declares, /

bringing forth their fall pumpkin wares. /

Temperatures still roiling across the US. /

When they will break is anybody’s guess. /

Hurricanes hit California and other coasts, /

but Iced Pumpkin Cream Chai Latte Starbucks boasts. /

It may be 69 days until Halloween /

but this declaration seems self-serving and a bit obscene.

“Seat”

Seat

Somewhere a seat waits: /

departure or arrival. /

love or loneliness.

“Space”

Space

Physical and mental,

bruised with color, words, and shapes,

walls contour your space.

“Within”

Within

Deep the well within. /

Bright the penny that descends. /

Soft the echo ends.

“Watch”

Watch

Clouds below the moon, /

sunlight lingers on mountains. /

Watch the evening come.

“Little fox”

Situated 8,000 light-years away, giant stars form at the heart of the “little fox” constellation. These giant stars are some of the biggest in the galaxy, some even containing dozens of times the mass of the sun. Discover more : http://go.nasa.gov/22wqrfy
