Kit Kelen #896 - one day and the next (two poems)

896

one day and the next

least light

the day so fast

the year sat up

sludge trudge

of where no one will shine

it's like we're going

down into winter

one biscuit at a time

then let's play find the wallaby

kamikaze in the dam

not even whiffy

the day so fast

it's done

5° in sunshine

inching

mossed

lichen lit

steam rose

fronded off

dew thick

and sparkle

of first frost

mud

and all that's sunbuilt

still here to rise again

nothing will rot now

there's pond where a whole world's fallen in

the season like grass set light

in hollows by

and spotted first

now everything is lifted

conditions clear

someone must take off

there has to have been fire
