Autumn's rainbow

Another heady day blooms and gathers pace

Spring dawns at 5 a.m. with a gargle and spit in the dark

 

Big rain drops and falls

Soft blood red wet cherry stones of bath salts

Splayed across my ageing face

Autumn showers then walks

 

The spiderweb of ragged birdsong feathers and

Threads through the branches

Of just November trees

Autumnal hymnal

Singing through the dying darkness, whispering

Don’t capture the light

 

And walking jogs thought

Factoring rebuke as Information unwanted

Proof then reproof

The tarmac fields of youth

Tilled by broken hands with

Broken men mending pipes and wires

Time leaves a presage- a butterfly mark

Autumn leaves their signals sending winter’s mark

Beauty colours death
