A Warm Tear Rolls Down


Who is it we blame
when the golden flower fades
but the dross remains?
and the butterfly's wing no longer glistens

or are we to reinvent ourselves
since your desire has freeze-dried in this icy autumn
and you seek no warmth
from my still aglow hearth.

Is it my fate
to lie here undisturbed
with red coals coating grey
in cooling silence?

A warm tear rools down my whitened cheek
and shatters.

Thank you both for reading.
And it is about the "chill".
