The trees breathing vapor Exhalt against the forest skyline Intangible matter, dense, blends the cold Condensing, Gathering up from the ground; the edges of a silken cloth.
This time of year is Dampness, the heat dissipates and drops the flower petals' clammy tissues Roiling shades of ochre.
This time of year Seeds are Summer Dreams incapsulate, Breaking free, drifting overhead Gone, forgotten-- Rust that smells like blood blooms over the countryside.
A second glance back-- Barren are the bones of winter.
