the wind turns raw and damp
biting at your skin
smothering the smoldering remains of this autumn's seasonal burn
and we bend as the aspen do
bracing for the first taste of cool change on our lips
grasping onto those lingering echos of summer warmth inside our mouths
thin as paper and frail with dying embers
they tumble into memories
and the seasons turn.
