Dark October
with soft brown groves
...
Silky purple dark
saffron crocus
...
Winter river's here,
snowy and going nowhere
- the earth is austere.
...
Beckoned darkness
along the gentle
cutting railroad
...
Dawn comes slowly in,
from where the sunshine has been
- light on winter skin.
...
Alteration threads
with a jagged edge
...
Water's flowing fine,
into the hiemal sunshine
- from the high alpine.
...
Piano music
with walking fingers
...
Spring will come again,
from under the winter's reign
- tide's ageless refrain.
...
Men and beasts
gather in Babylon
...
