Flocks cascade from cloud to lake
reflecting summer's umber dusk.
 
Trees unweave their worried hands
while cooler air creeps catlike close.
 
Minutes quicken pulses surge:
the promise of pluperfect night.
 
Inward chills spill down a spine
arched as eyes desire stars.
 
Magnificence - the fullest moon
casting alabaster spells:
 
our limbs alert - electric hair -
enlivened silence into breaths
 
deepening expectancy
as disguise of skies drifts off.
 
So the cosmos bares its mind
sanctifying evenfall
 
its gospel rousing mouths to awe:
ambrosial wisdom wrought of rays.
