Autumn

Autumn

A Poem by Black Branches

It's autumn, snakes crawl into unreachable places to hibernate.
I've laid out warm blankets.
In villages, cornfields are being stored,
and cows are giving less milk.
The rains have become more prolonged, mixed with mist,
colder compared to summer.
The walls are no longer as warm.
I feel an attack of painful stones in my body,
these attacks push me to go outside.
To walk with Kafka, without friends, and longing for imagined friends.
The windows are as dirty as climate change.
My red heart has turned yellow,
like that one leaf rustling in solitude.
Oh, this scent from every corner,
it's all autumn.

This is a straightforward piece, but still sets the scene for an autumn. It references the season, almost as if ii's revolving around what's visible and possible to sense; from the perspective of someone indoors (and looking out). Also, the location seems to be a rural one, possibly within a farming area; going by the clues. And, no animals or people are mentioned; apart from the protagonist herself. I like how she doesn't just try to make out, that autumn is somehow a totally perfect season. Instead, the writer has crafted a more realistic and balanced perspective; by including a few negative autumnal features too. The final line, "It's all autumn"; might be implying that the writer appreciates both negative and positive aspects of this season. On the other hand, possibly; even that she likes both what's good and bad about this season. Of course, only the writer can know for sure.
