Summer tilts toward autumn  
one October morning  
so sudden I thought  
I’d left the door ajar.  
What force puffs my sphere  
To wobbling in vacant air?  
I sat a chair while asking  
if such wobbles edge  
across the spacelake  
like where dropped a stone  
upon a mountain lake  
one summer day.  
Or return where snows  
slip green and naught  
but nighted wood  
its shadows grown  
until no sun rises?

And,  
what of my soul  
ebbing and flowing  
like a bay of tides  
as if all is pushed  
when set just right  
as if peace wants dispeace?
