Sorry I reposted Tima but writing about Autumn kills me. Although it is my fav season

I Don’t Suppose It Matters

I don’t suppose it matters that it is autumn.
The air is in its original condition
worn and used:
It is as always in its enormity
suffocating me
with recollections.

In its dampness, I remember
how stupidly happy I was just sitting with you
(or was that happily stupid?)
I would watch your jet-black lashes
greet your nearly coloured-of-almond cheeks
Ev-e-ry time revealing
the deep-green-sovereignty of your eyes
without their usual covering
and nude.

This always held me in a stupor

and sometimes
when yesterday finally catches up
rustling her nut-brown leaves from
second-hand Eucalypts

It still does.

fate is not just
whose cooking smells good
but which way the wind blows

(Ani DiFranco)

Maree...to take a thought from your topic...it doesn't matter that you reposted this lucious poem...I love the use of color in it. Feelings always seem to come with seasons, bringing reminders of other times..makes them special. Enjoyed this, lovely lady!

Maree...I missed this the first time
around, but I'm loving it now.
I'm so glad you reposted it.

Of course...I'm still waiting to read
something new from you too.

Love your writing...always.
