Autumn use to say
its favorite season were shades of her brown hair.

When her heart reached the slow wind
she traveled in her high heels
a flannel shirt, loosely fit over her black jean pants

Every evening
she would stand in front of the bluffs
looking onward as the sun set over the sea
and as it set
her eyes left a girls quiet thoughts
and the stem of a rose fell from the front of her breasts
down to where her thinly skimmed ankles
had strap laces over them

Her oft put attitude
carried the fires strong flames

Onto the flame of her transient heart
for one woman locked her hair
into a ball of yarn
and bent the side of the levee
towards her white skirt
like the deer that hid in the snow
from the shadows of her ranch home

Her black leather jacket
worn from the years
of a woman whose tears during
the deers dry run were
the betrayal of her fathers fears
and she stood
ominous, waiting
for her stare read the woods
and her father finally returned.
