L'automne

A Poem by Moonie
"

~Posting an autumn poem in February~

"
Find me by the wayward stateside,
coming back home to reside, and lay white
upon the Earth's mottled lap.
Between the folds, I uphold
unsweetened truths, and pray
on my skinned green knees,
wobbling under the weight
of the scoliosed season's greetings.
My fingers gasp for fresh breaths
to hold onto the olfactory death
that is autumn,
reaching out skyward
towards the humming quiet of
reddened maples, and hibiscus drones that
drown out the bees licking
divine flesh off
from the last of flowers,
drinking up supple honey
relentlessly,
as the year
gulps down our time.

a flashback to my favorite season...and to my days in Vermont in autumn with the most beautiful mountains full of maples...nothing like a New England countryside in fall...
and your magical phrasing and alliteration are like a fluttering of the trees and words floating down in a breeze of syntax.
