Autumn...

Bring me a cup of fire
And let your stars
Lap up my cold
For the chills
Of this rain soaked summer
Are getting to me.
My leaves are melting
Into your ochre silence...
The autumn in you
Reminds me of a season forgotten...
Incensed,
Buried slowly
Into the reaches,
Of the brimming soil...
Ensnared...
In this quick sand,
Give me a hand.
Firm and tender...
For I refuse
To sweat my way
Through this wilderness
Once more....
