dressing for fall

this is ours;
kingdom come
(the moon rises
waiting for the fall)

steady warmth dresses an earthbound breeze;
foggy breath softened by tender tongues
(in my mind it is mine)

kingdom come
---on earth as it is in heaven
(a skin has shed -- it fell in a dream)
and if I die before I wake,
I will have been born into the new.

fall will come,
my kingdom come.
