Air thick with water.
Fire tinges leaves of autumn
Earth. The storm will come.--HJG 2001
Creepy winter month
Snows, then melts, rivulets flow
Warm globe 'neath the sun.--HJG 2001
A Week In October
by HJG
Golden fading sun echoes
over the lush, beyond-emerald grass.
It's the last barefoot day of the year,
lukewarm soil embraces probing toes.
Evening sets in, chill reclaiming the air,
balmy naked-friendly nights long past.
Pale waning leaves set off the full chewy grass,
foreshadowing the brown, the orange colors of
Samhain.
Happy reNewal Year.

click
click
the ice molecules
in my frozen ears
knock against each other
like cubes in a martini glass
wind lacerates
between the threads
of my sweatshirt and jeans
my teeth ache
like ice-9 is trying
to sneak into my body
through my gums
the sun brightly serrates
my eyes,
but yields no warmth
happy renewal year...
