The 365 Project

i awoke to the crispy cool
of autumn in the air today
it’s chill embraced me with
its leaf mold caress as i lay
sleeping dreaming a kiss

fall the reverse resurrection
i love you and your harvest
moons and your chilly clarity
but you are no lover you
take but cannot ever give

i will be here
same time next year
i will be here

every day i will slip into you
surrounded by increasing night
and breathe deep your cool
before we part again never
having shared a single secret

i will be here
same time next year
i will be here
