storm clouds in orbit bodies at rest

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
