leaves of memory

freeimages.co.uk abstract

if I could kiss my memories

and toss them to the wind as crumbled leaves, my outstretched limbs

would yearn so desperately as to sprout

new memories as spring. the desperate red,

 

the shameful purple, the quivering orange

cling to me against the cold. this autumn coat of my life—not

always beautiful but nonetheless

the colors I wear in worn

homage to the sun, and wind, and rain

that have painted me so
