Night brings nurture tainted wither
Hospitable and faint of call come hither

Reprieving nude of summer swelter
Monologue awash in pause and welter

All that need be told burns auburn gold
The simplest belied in autumns shelter

And beat the heart in ebb of throbbing heat
Like dread yet caramelized a copycat replete

To hush in serpentine regalia spark and pass away
Night brings cool its dissidence to hold the heart at bay

"All that need be told burns auburn gold"

I had a delightful image flash before my eyes while reading this.
