[Circa October 2014]
dried leaves crack under our steps.
we cross fields, leaving rubber footprints
in squelching earth.
summer has reached autumnal glory
and you are surrounded by a scorching haze
auburn, ochre – gold.
you become a story told beneath firedust.
the skies spill emeralds.
knitted scarves and woollen hats.
i drink hot chocolate, rejoicing that
beside you
i have never been cold.
