night stretches
as autumn waxes asters,
wilts petunias,
weathers fern
and alyssum,

stripes the day
with cool and hot,
dries the hay
to baling spot,

coats fauna
in their winter wear,
beside the mountain
forest there.

night stretches,
day shortens,
grasses wear fuzzy
caterpillars, atop
their stems,

that dangle
toward the ground,
in morn,
weighted by the dew
they’ve worn,

then lifting high,
as their heads dry,
toward the sun
where dreams
are spun.

night stretches
the stars awake
and dipper
gives the earth
a shake
with a drop, a drip
a rain or two
that kisses me
and kisses you.

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.
