My Mind Turns Autumn, Again

My mind turns Autumn, 
again

And my thoughts undress from coherence 
I can sense that my scarlett feelings 
Are trying to escape?
I was reading stars from my tea-cup
today
but conversing with future tends to sadden me
Did I say:

My mind turns Autumn 
Again ?

I keep envisioning sunsets from past weeks 
back then the air liked to mutter a
peach-coloured scent and I
(watching the softly falling rain)
Muttered along

My mind turns Autumn
Again

I know I will walk those streets with a sense 
of this beauty being too much to comprehend 
I wrote a letter to a friend saying I missed 
a true connection but that such beauty 
Compensates ? (For that)

My mind turns Atumn, 
again

I'm afraid
That nothing can really mitigate this 
Sense

(ation)

I think I must paint
a bird who returns to his nest

(Like the birds in my head)

My mind becomes Autumn 
again
