9 August 2025
Come autumn, come quickly
bring your red and yellow leaves
away summer sunshine
too hot
relentless light piercing
my eyes
come autumn shadows,
walk in front of me as you always do
twice taller than me.
bring your dark evenings
brambles, sharp and winding
blackberries and apples
falling leaves,
take away the roses, the lilies too
bring back the mistletoe
and naked trees
only one thing I might miss
- the bumblebees.
Amen
