long shadows
having long
dragge
their feet

picked up
the pace

with a skip
a jump

and rush

wanting
to be present

for every
face to face

night falls unseen
a beat between dusk and dark –
spilled ink and stars

#Poetry #Painting #Autumn

The clear sky and water melt in the autumn hue.
Far, far away from the unclean, tumultuous world,
White clouds and red leaves move leisurely.

I think the seasons complete me-
for once autumn comes
I can fall freely
along with every leave.

- Laura Chouette

🎨 Gordon Mortensen

“So, this assassin robot, are we talking something like the Terminator?”

The agent almost guffaws, then holds up vial containing a fly-sized drone. “Whisper quiet. Painlessly injects self-replicating nanites that cause something inconspicuous, like an aneurysm.”

drop after drop
falls down the face...
and some kind of common
animal yearning
splashing spilled out of me

we are all, to some extent, horses,--
everyone here is a bit of a horse.

- Vladimir Mayakovsky

🎨 Gulnara Falyakhova

Masked evisceration leaves
the structure standing,
while betrayal removes
its inner supports,
until trust can bear
no weight,
and affection remains
an empty shell.

Oct 9 - "After the Raincoat Hangs Dripping"

Drops gather along the hem,
a dark puddle marks the floor,
and the empty sleeves remember
the shoulders they sheltered.

Blending hues of age and courage,
his weathered face became
a muted canvas,
while bright eyes
retained their vivid pigments,
letting weariness and wonder
share the same unfinished portrait.

Thank you—apparently the lantern has officially filed for bedtime.

After the Lantern Burns Low
the night is long advanced
it's time to turn it off
and get into the sleeping bags

Thank you—the harvest moon may have set, but clearly nobody told the colors it was time to go home. 😄

Thank you—your lanterns may be burning low, but that red canopy certainly knows how to keep the spotlight.
