on a late autumn morning

 on a late autumn morning 


red rain

in the wet leaves

a blackbird runs amok

on a morning in mourning

he is wearing his funeral coat 

the leaves in sober procession halt

at the gates of winter the wind pushes enter

every single leaf falls in a slow falter

indoors a cat sitting mesmerised

a few sips of strong black tea

as the light raises a smile

a slow breath follows

the fluttering heart

as every tree

returns to

bed
