Count the Clouds

I count the clouds others count the seasons
Dreaming of archipelagos and the desert
I have lived through weeks of years.
—Susan How, from "Hinge Picture"

    Suddenly autumn:
    days too short and nights too cold.
    An old friend’s letters,
    once abundant as summer,
    become puzzlingly absent.

    —Michael Boiano, via journalofanobody

    A sad eloquence
    in the colors of autumn,
    like the last kind words
    shared between parting lovers,
    weary and saying goodbye.
