Renewal
An affinity for romance re-kindled
Our autumn walk severed from the rush of people
A different kind of membership
a cool zone
as leaves fall like mellow tones in ballads
weather proofing our path
brittle coins of gold, red, orange
that rattle the ground with color
that brush against the soothing ease of desire.
Leaves bedding to mute the snap of word sharpness
to meld decay and comfort
to filter an air of ghostly tension.
Our fingers entwine as we re-build faith together
push through the crowded disappointments of memory
store ourselves away from past damaged pieces.
Cradled walking
amid leaves, bone weary
that fall as footprints
re-imagined
as hurt unraveling
