Late Butterfly

Late butterfly
Basks in opportunity’s
Cloudless blue.

Dew-cold shadows creep
But in the light
It’s still summer.

Season’s Turn

September 7, 2016September 7, 2016 ~ distilledvoice ~ 3 Comments

The season turns
On the imperceptible
Reddening of the hip

And the spider fattened
On the line, apparent
In clear September-time,

And leaf-fall’s tiredness,
Its threadbare
Tattered drift towards gold

And matter shed,
Released in the crispening
Of daylight.

Uplift

Stem in its natural turgid curve.
Chin lifted by the sun.
‘Be my reflection,’ says the sun.
‘But be a flower, first and foremost.’
