for the Bean

autumn fell for summer

& aspen not to leave

at first chill

when seasons will

to time that passes cleave…

But seasons are transcendent

governed by the stars

which looping path

determines graph

of change without regard.

summer nicer days

than others

he winter before snow

transformed by storm

the Fall-en girl

in tundra—grew below

–to spring from quiescent posture

when solar storms flare far

the equinox

the time to watch

for sun & autumn stars…
