“Bright Umber Burning”
1.
The tension of the lamplight
Reflected in the lamplighter’s face
The burnt umbers of a late night’s journey.
2.
High Sienna is my name
And these playful daystreaks astride the horizon
My promise of a long and shimmering day to come.
3.
Golds exhausted by the simmering day
Melt lifeless into browns
To dream of tomorrow’s sweet morningrise
On Dawn’s bright crimson wings.
4.
Burnt sienna
Stains the dusk-soaked oaks
To complete this day’s October pallette.
5.
The tension of the lamplight
The burnt umbers of a late night’s journey.
