Pages of the Forest


Washed clean of August's sweat


by the frosty dews of november's night

Drool the clouds, leaving the horizon soggy and wet

As the sky sprinkles purple shower to unknown heights

Litters too the candlelit pages of corniferous forest 

The berries then break loose their roots 

To let them grasp few grains of light 

Muse also shudders through the fingers of the shy moon

It gazes for long and long into Autumn's eyes

Draws deep inside its lavender scent

and write word-less verses on the sun-burnt scars of her neck
