The Lost and Found Fall has found me at last with its bright sky. It has unfurled and danced across my vision as I listened to the soft muted sound of trees, dreaming and lost and forgetful Fall has turned the sunny heat of my longing into a broken leaf strewn sidewalk crunched into tiny fragments of feeling, where you brush me against the wall with the coolness of your breathe. I have lost your song to the birds flying, flying away to a more noble tree, I dance to silence in search of summer’s symphonies. Was the vision of September a wave that horizons only see on days when fools are made? I am lost without this illusion, forsaken by my own skin, cold and shrunken. The cement holds the heat, slow to give up, until time and night bring the chilling and I call your name across the idle hours of morning and warm to your answering call. I was never gone, it was you that was missing. |
