Time Travel Autumn
Wendy Rathbone
The fields are restless Old orange Jack comes to life again The moon’s a criminal among the orphan trees Ancient Septembers New Octobers Rust eye-shadow from old chains makes the ghosts cry The deathclock knows no time only spun fall ubiquitous forever dust-man repeating and repeating the same cicada songs Madness smells of stars dragon-hot Even the bones of the dead ache Autumn make me a winter sun in these crushed glass hours take me mica child street god to the lost avenues of an ebon moon
