Thee Darking of the daysA Poem by Michael OliverObservations of this time of yearIn the wind lives a memory A twanged tension of filament clouds At first plucked " hums " note alert Blown with the morning’s chill edict
Wind discarding the last feint lingering The fatal tear of Autumns veil Reveals harsh violence the winter’s nascence Of lights new spite of innocence
Gone soft seasons of published plutocracy Where models poised their invited seductions Of once fingertip pleasure and revelation Drew
Ayres from insect dusted blooms
The
full moons frosts the roofs Falling
leaves stopped " caught in air A
Robin pouted against the day Fixed
" under a neutral blue sky
From
the swirl of vortex leaves A closed
farewell rattle at parting Wind
tossed " they lie " alone " decay In
today’s eternity- and melt away © 2016 Michael OliverAuthor's Note
