Evidence

Glad, proud, blue, bright –
September conquers: climbs
the atmospheric rafters
and achieves its height, again, at last –
seizes and surveys the vastness
of the day – defies you –

disavows disparity – propagates
its clarity: everything in this
eternity is evidence: a heaven-bent
examination of the light
reviews all motive and effect –
finds them unified and right.

But you! – oh you – you brownish
runty little creature – hear a whisper –
underneath, within, inside –
a tickle of a faint reminder
that the ride ain’t over yet –
and who knows what it will beget.
