one minute in autumn

by Karyn Huntting Peters

so late, so dark out. cold of autumn is
coming. i ache, oh god how i ache inside. my throat
hurts from choking back what must be tears,
though why, why would i cry? eternity
courses through the veins of my thoughts.
heat and light and fire and ice. they live
within. they call out to that within you. just one
minute, one minute more. let me feel
the abandon, let me fade into you. let me
lose the borders of the world as we know it and
feel nothing but you and me and the impending
implosion. let me see again, and now brighter still, the
white light of a thousand stars. let me touch you,
reach through you, feel your essence again.
