Autumn

Don't come to me
In the season of spring.
Or winter
Or summer.

Not this, or this, or that.

Autumn
Suits you best.


*************


Autumn is
my favorite time of the year
It allows for shedding
and yet retaining.
For being naked
and coming out stronger.
***************


Autumn
is the annual rite of passage
The fire colored trial
that is usually survived.


It is kinder
than winter
and summer.
