A flurrying breath of Autumn's kiss
caresses the nape of her neck.
Eyes gloss
at the twirling dance of leaves
falling
round as she strolls.

Crisp woodsy aromas
waft and cling
to the air streams in Autumn's whispers.

A rhythm of change is felt
as the
fanning of sultry heat interlaces
with
Autumn's chilled breathing.

Summer's blanket of
dewy warmth
recedes like a yawning tide...

While

the leaves waltz
in their vein popping skin,
they smile
in a laced tangerine and red wine sheen.
