Autumn

[incantation]

Summers final dream, first autumn
Leaf to fall, will their reflections
Cross on waters of springs distant
Birthing pools.
What is temperature of 
Fire in winters dream. Park 
Playground without children,
Winds like thorns without a rose.
Squirrels cache, a panopticon,
Clock change is close, new
Music is born to bridge 
Children's dreams about a park.
Gaps widen on trees without leaves.
Names partially lit 
On gravestones, lifetimes 
Spent foraging for flames of
Unlit fires. Like an arrow tip, Lead call of geese in flight, Reflections 
Recede, mercury falls. Blank 
Fury of seasonal storm.
Empty beaches, like lost 
Pocket watch. Seagull scavengers
Catch bread in a local park. 
Does summer sleep next
To a mirror with autumns activity 
In the glass and who can
Keep dream hidden from dreamer
To prevent rising sea levels flooding
Out of the mirror to deliver 
A pearl. First full moon
Of the season, can tides tempt 
Her from normal trajectory and
Purity of children's dreams
Tempt autumn to paint their skies,
Brush aligned with lightning reflected
In tears for a closed playground.
