Spring's Big Finale

Saturated light

Seasons they go round and round
enlightenment and extinction

Afternoon of the faun

An expansive day of sun and sky

 I have gone gathering 

at the community garden

Ironically located

 Then back to Old Oakland 

for provisions

a nice bottle of XO brandy

Spring is a demiurge

releasing enchanted bees

 Come to Grief?

Um, I have plans that night

 I'm going to stay in 

to wash my hair

and get out the old easel

 The coming of night 

stirs the soul

 Silver graffitti

catches alight

 Down to the Port

my place of revery

 The sky grew

phantasms

Helicopter over me,

Tonight down the estuary

two top sports teams compete

There's a heavy police presence

weighs on the town
anticipating the victory riot
not to be

Ever-changing formations

in the lowering sunlight

 Bike cops showed up too

One said, hello, sir

I said, evening

 This device can't capture
a zone of refracted light,
Discernible here as an oval shape
near the pole,
To my eye as a vivid color spectrum

  Light fades away

ever thus

The last light before Solstice

Reaches the northside of this ship

a floating lighthouse

Kind of a benign mushroom cloud

made itself known

 

 Only the tall buildings

were still in the sun

Until next Spring,

Fare thee well

 Yikes,

 the nearly full moon

rising in the Eastern sky

 The world illuminated

windows of the coroner's office

the tidal moon

A journey to end of every night
