In the firmament of trees October's eye looks down in cruel azure on summer's absinthe leaves, flocking like survivors to a mortal haven. Autumn's blood magma creeps through leaves bequeathing fire and brittle amber. Fertile frost breeds in arctic prisms, whispering feral eddas as withering violets echo bitter truth.
