Autumn Glow
It was a beautifully laid path of moram stones
minuscule ice dust seated on my pink hands
holding yours covered with a three-quarter
thick cotton high neck navy blue t-shirt
Our lips forgot their role as the eyes
got hooked in looking at rows of
the orange yellow pyramids lined
on both sides of the reddish brown path
In a dazzling grandeur autumn in a pose
mild fragrance wafting in the flowing wind
That the tragic hues could be so loud
one wouldn't believe without witnessing
Used gourd skins with Halloween residuals
sunlight seated on a pile of harvested straw
dimples on our cheeks we exchanged our eyes
two bodies rested for a while in a soul
Flapping wings in their southern flight
We look for a charcoal glow from each other
