Rise, fall, surprise


Yesterday was autumn, or so you said
Today, in the sunlight,
are these the last throws of the summer

The Wagnerian crescendo, raucous
over the mountains, falls silent; floods,
once rampant fade calmly down the valleys

The monotone memorials travel on the leaf,
shimmering; invisible crests are embossed
within the fabric of our journey

Yesterday was autumn, or so you said
Instead, shrunk in short sleeves,
surprised again by the curtain calls of belief
