Autumn Wind

Autumn Wind


A rushing stranger, pushing a door 

Freezing fingertips, embracing my pore

We meet face to face, lifting every tendril 

of my limp hair, numbing my ear 

 

You continue.. 

Poking through my knitted beanie 

Groaning around my scarfed nape 

Wedging in on my unbuttoned down

Swaying up my reluctant sequined gown 

 

You never stop 

Trickling into my sweatered arms 

Disarming my unpretentious charm 

Pausing over my  bounding pulse 

Coursing along my stiffened spine 

 

Autumn wind why such persistence? 

You invade my frail defense

Here I am cursing you instantly

As I walk through the way  

Where you careen tremendously..
