When Autumn
Slipped Away
When
Autumn slipped away into the night
Taking
along her gentleness, her smiles
The
creaking walls ticked minutes dark until
Winter
arrived on wild winds winging south
And
made dawn’s colors hide within the earth
Yesterday’s
glowing woods – now cold and grey
Haunted
by drips and damps and hopelessness
And
voices from a summer’s yesterday:
The
world was wan with poor, pale-patterned light
When
Autumn slipped away into the night
