Winter has come

what you have

in the summer.
Every leaf must fall, Annie

so invisible
so beyond my grasp
guiding my soul
into the deepest
most important

parts of my entire life

sail on the moon, watching her as she touches the soft and sweet clouds
stretching her arms out to kiss them like I wish I could
reach out to touch your neck and
kiss you between your ears
Have you ever noticed
that when the unrelenting season
of air as crisp as the taste of september apples

We must have compassion for a culture
that has a promise for immediate gratification.

Yet, you and I remain unsatisfied.
