dark earth gecko in the warmth of room lamp
side of eye the autumn darkness never far
swallow’s face the deep orange of autumn
the half moon hides children seeking her dark
the laughter of kids lit by the half moon
you can hear them autumn winds plotting in the shadows
before you wake night winds raise the cold from depths
i prefer the namelessness of bodies
popping fish crackers and trying to read your lips
