EXPO '26

Here we are—October, 
where metaphor is as good
as it gets;

where one angel whispers,
and the air pressure
changes;

where the cotton-
brown only
deepens the green;

and where skies 
of cerulean
light scatter, various

as uncountable
sapphires fresh
from the tumbler.

Mother of all 
that flames-out: pray 
for us now 

that our succumbing too
may bring forth 
such brave fire.

What a harvest mindset
joins together, may no reaping
tear asunder;

what the last 
gust of warm 
breeze chooses

to cleave, please let 
no overnight 
freeze coalesce.
