Description

The first of Autumn’s Days

Dawn, 

the crouching eyes 

of wings 

and black,  

over the last 

of summer darkness, 

the stars swallowed 

in the emptying,

the  blackness 

of a fading blue, 

and to the west 

and east, 

in front 

of the ragged ships 

of a worn 

and forgotten sky, 

lightening flickers 

and fades, 

flickers and fades, 

crashing in sheets 

of power and steel, 

the metallic thunder 

of igniting fields 

and hedges, 

woodlands 

and rooftops, 

the hidden raptures 

of illumination, 

the shattering 

of shadows, 

the race 

of time and turning, 

the fading memories 

of summer, 

the fallen wings, 

the ravens ravenous, 

remember 

and with rancour 

the birth 

of the first 

of autumn’s days.
