Autumn, you're unruly.

Can you see it?

The cold in your breath

the quickness of your steps.

 

I don't feel the animals sound

in my ears

anymore.

But only the eyes in the trees of fear.

 

Don't you want it so bad?

The sound and the flow

of the world breathing.

Another body's dead

from the fathomed snow

 

"So isn't time fast?" I ask

to the howling wind at my window

 

Did you feel then,

how you do now?

Is this nonsense making you proud?

 

The clouds of agony engulf the sky

the colors die of thirst

and the cats don't come home from time to time,

all the people I know are committing a crime,

and our pockets can barely hold a dime.
