Autumnal
Fire
When
autumn lays on the ground
its
senescent leaves
the
awakening of moribund senses occurs;
groans
and tumults
gripped
in the fist of imminent chaos are finally freed.
Copper
leafy lips whisper in the swirling wind,
electric
words are dispersed in the ether.
Every
touch is tinged with secrecy
and
desperation
at
the gates of blazing hearts
that send high sky their phoenix fire.
