What is it about autumn light?
byuntonuggan
What is it about autumn light
Delicious deciduous drops, golden dew
Soft and sinuous, snakelike
With fangs that pierce memories
Of other autumns, hidden griefs
Memories flooding back too quickly for arks or olive branches:
His beard, rough and prickly
Against tender young skin--
Forgotten until I passed the grasses sighing
Sighing in the wind and glowing
Glowing bright flames in the cold autumn light
