Anticipating Autumnal EQUINOX: September 22, 2014: Length of Day and Night is Equal . . .some lines from my poems. . .

...whispers first the word in Russian  

then she translates      Then she translates

for today is Equinox     When I say [Fall] 
she translates  Equal Day not Equal Night.

to a trembling man, white limbs akimbo,
his illness's hallmark labeled “ballistic”...

The crack was loud and quick:
The foolish fishermen were blamed
by the rescuers for ignoring warnings.
Once again, someone fell in...
Here, it is snow. A blanket muffles sound...
