Equinox

Another eclipse
shines over southern ice
Another equinox
looms a week away

The wind rises
for an all night blow
The first of many
a winter's gale

Three hours down
morn and night
The day shorten
the night is now dark

The merry dancers
flick the northern sky
in place of the
midnight glim

As the mercury shivers
to the bottom of teens
As the wind buffets
irreverendly

Summer is leaving
It's been brief
Winter is looming
not long to go
