Wind on the horizon
smells of rain,
smells of despair.
The sky bleeds
with red clouds,
sagging with autumn showers
The wind blows,
the leaves die quietly,
falling to the cooling earth.
A chill cuts the spine,
fear anticipation and despair,
mothers bundle their little ones.
The days are growing short,
the afternoons gray,
there is cold weather coming
