Surprised, I knew,
like a tickling sneeze
twitching in my nose.
I saw your eyes,
so much like mine...
(yes, I think they were my own.)


How can this be?
An Autumn breeze?
Dusting blood-sweat from my brow?
I need to build a kite to fly
if I can remember how.


Calloused feet
stifling heat--
we need a blanket spread.
There--a magnolia
come, and I'll show you
a place to rest your head.


Autumn breeze,
don't tease me, please...
(We both know it's July.)
Two pairs of feet
grip hot streets
as four eyes search the sky.


This moment now
let's make no vows
while these autumn breezes blow.
I'll be content
with no intent
of malice when you go.


Changes of season
are instinct--not reason;
let us build a kite and float.
Lest winter freezes
turn sweet breezes
into cold familiar snow.


Then I'll desire
the heat of a fire,
searching for a warmer cloak.
Shivering,
remembering
how Autumn breezes blow.

How you DO that from
where you are just leaves
me in a mass of ah-maze....

Hey!!!!!!!!!!!  I just started getting enough time to try and get my tan back and here I find the Autumn breezes being beckoned.
Does this mean you are searching for Autumn weather all year long?  

I don't know how Autumn breezes are in New Orleans but you sure do make them sound inviting.  Wonderful flow in your words and of course your line breaks are always right on.  They help the reader put the right emphasis on each part.  Very much enjoyed.

Ah, I've not lost my mind...Helen's post reminded me of a steamy summer, when I met this guy that was a breath of fresh air--rare thing in N.O. in the dog days of summer...
