a high wind howling
and the death rattle
of russet leaves
clinging to bare limbs.

Become a master
of shifting and sliding
the secret of the sands
airily traverse arid mounds
learn to swallow the grit.

I would never fly as high
as Icarus because I am
cautious of extremes
except of course
in cases of precarious love.

a matter of perspective
an orange

I will rise and stretch
walk across the frost
the crunchy grass
satisfied remembering us.

The truth is
poet's tell their secrets
and those of others too
we whisper confidences

poured wispy and bubbling

they gather dust
that is how our end began
our love turned
