somber song haiku
/|\
*early autumn chill
somber toning frogling bass
stars beam silent truth*
\|/
mid summer hints its end
here too
the night extends in tones
lamenting twilit choke of day--
changeling-hours' ease: a memory
offsetting later dawns
yet deeper chills portend
an autumn's coming tide
of ending-songs
i too am passing
as a haiku's universal scope
of timeless time,
galactic spin within the frogling's utterance,
makes morbid rhythms eyed;
i fear i'm croaking right along this somber bass,
and wonder is it time? so soon?
envisioning the ancient host of haiku masters
brittle, fade
in unison of tears
or tranquil noddings at the season's cutting
partial circles round the sun
i read
i am the aging frog
by virtue of a poem,
and then it lets me leap!
