from you, To Autumn

It is autumn now

The last time we spoke

was when the summer breeze

was still kissing the trees

Now they are dying

their brittle dances

wherever you are

It is just lively here

Those twigs have grown

producing lilac and crimson

petals that eat

the ground up

You would be quite envious

of that cold cutting

through the edge of the earth

How juxtaposed is my mind

that I should think up

warm touches

while frost bites my cheeks

I remember that sun

those rays calculated

now drowned out by this

vast grey that mars my sky

I’ll remember that feeling

How fleeting those feelings were

They lasted

but only a season

a sign that

nothing ever lasts
