Solution: here.
The Equinox
The Equinox
Trees blush, then undress
before the first frost––
a last caress of Summer
slack pulling taut as we
turn back the clocks, small
gods cultivating time.
A letter from home
vultures our visitors
with wild words and
nowhere to go, ghosts
rage like white flowers
hardened in the snow.
