shadows lengthen

on this perfect autumn day

blazing sun

crystal blue sky


the perfect (yes perfect)

Actuality

as the unimpeachable source

of cliche


but actually living the instant

void of yourself

you are the full

content of this moment


you are the lengthening shadow

as the blazing sun leans

to the Western sky

the crystal blue sky becomes


a velvety violet illuminance

and in the bracing cool of evening

the perfect autumn night

resolves the sun's long shadows


ignites the stars and cast faint

night shadows re-tracing the day


their cold glittering fire your peace...
