I can't see the veins
In that beech leaf
Across the street
Shimmering slightly
A subtle sashay
X-rayed by the rays
Of afternoon blaze
In late October
You know the brand
Of that light
And you know
That song
Veins and all
Don't you
bathed in this
moment's movement
swathed in sun
light on our feet
your arm in the crook
of my elbow
shepherding us
all so surely
smiles alight
autumnal flames
unquenched
this now
no other
but this
one
until
eternity
somewhere south of mint
across the street from vinyl
bathed in walnut
left for dread
sailing over byzantine
landing in clover
poppies swaying
weeks months years
a versary
a cursory
nursery
of wishes
devoutly
wished for
a dewy decimal system
10
point two
doo-wop
they do run run
they dew
they do
ooh aah
drip drop
splish splash
shine
upon a petal
masquerading
as skin
look
through any window
this one not that
upon a windshield
glint splash flash
wildfire light
blind blinding blinded
folded felled
the light fantastic
going going gone
then reprise
if you please
