Today, I sipped my coffee
Under orange leaf hues
Listening to the endless rustling
Of nature’s phoenix fire
***
Why must decay reign
For us to acknowledge
The beauty held within
A leaf so mundane?
***
Foliage so full of fire
Underscored by snap and crackle
Assembled bodies
Warmed by flame and wool
***
A constant, latent chill
Demands a libation
A cider, a bourbon
A paired stew, preferred in a cauldron
***
Twirl amongst the skeletons
Let shivered spines
Be eternal reminders
That thou art mortals
***
So let us come honor
This hallowed month
Which, if we’re quite honest
Wears the crown, in triumph
