heartquake

...an unmistakable scent

is breathing my thought

right from the first sing

of a flamboyant rooster;

⋯

it is autumn's copper win-o

in an aired fruity honey tint

winded in smoky pastrami,

lurking slyly at my window;

⋯

gifted by a heartquake,

my eyes got wide open

and my mouth salivated

in childhood memories;

⋯

instantly seduced, i'm urged

to take a walk to the fair,

to savor the season's treats

and do a new, indelible day;

⋯

inviting, life plays with me,

feeding myself with p'tit joys

to chase away daily issues

into nowhere, into no mean;
