cool kisses at dawn
hints of amber, cloves and cinnamon,
cool kisses at dawn
as days rush to dusk and nights amble long,
scamperers gather, cicadas drone on,
earth’s final fruits clinging low, reaper comes,
cool kisses at dawn

(A Rondelet)
The Rondelet is a French form consisting of a single septet with two rhymes and one refrain: AbAabbA. The capital letters are the refrains, or repeats. The refrain is written in tetra-syllabic or dimeter and the other lines are twice as long – octasyllabic or tetrameter.
they are afraid
truth cannot penetrate their hearts
they are afraid
placing their faith in barricades
setting themselves above, apart
consumed by hate, lost in the dark…
they are afraid.
