True - all things being equal
During the Vernal & Autumnal
Points of transition...Seasonal habitats have an internal
Clock that triggers things deep within
Living beings. Humans & perhaps others
on our blue world can, if they're
Both lucky and strong, experience
The conscious version to whatever degree.I was thinking about the word, 'poignancy'
That I meant to include in my last post
About the ephemeral nature of the
Burning Man gathering, and life in form.I immediately came upon the same theme
In a completely different creative display.
At first, when I read the title,
"SUDDENLY, LAST SUMMER"...
I thought it mean LAST summer, as in 2008.But now that I have injected my own personal meaning
Into this collaboration of artist and viewer in the
Party in MY brain,
I think it means something subtler.
Suddenly, the summer I'm living has become and
IS last summer.And at such and such a time and day,
It will no longer be this summer in the stories we tell
The way we catalog them in our brain,
Our sense of self in time.Always ready to be evoked in full splendor
At a concentrated moment of focus...
Once again, the form can emerge from within
The depths to be visited like an old reel to reel movie
Of when you shoved ice cream in your little sister's
mouth one summer a million years ago when age 3.Autumn is my favorite time of year, though
***'now'***
Has come to be the best time going <period>.
NOW is when I experience all the memories
In Living Technicolor.
Again.And at this moment... and this one too...
It is nearing the tipping point toward fall again.
