Early Autumn

 

Something about the wind brings mystery

The darkness enters and exits 

Through the eyes and mouth, spilling out

As the rattlesnake shakes its tail at you

Warning you to stay away

 

Half a memory floats to the surface

Before sinking itself to the depths below

Sinking into the grotto

 

Something about this wind

Bringing traces of crimson out from the shade.

Never looking quite the same

Becoming all that remains in your head.

 

Half a thought approaches

And dances away

Saving itself for your dreams tonight.

 

And as the dust settles

As life carries on

How do you reckon with what you have seen?
