Autumn drops from the spit of summer. It is brown, well-mealed, perhaps a little burnt; its plush resplendencies are gone, its fruits are split. That spring, that summer grimace in a scattering of husks, a wizened apple, is unbearable; and at the core: pipped deaths, abbreviations, futures going hard.

IN THE AUTUMN
Autumn drops from the spit of summer. It is brown, well-mealed, perhaps a little burnt; its plush resplendencies are gone, its fruits are split. That spring, that summer grimace in a scattering of husks, a wizened apple, is unbearable; and at the core: pipped deaths, abbreviations, futures going hard.
