Summer's last breaths
Embrace vibrant murmurs
Autumn exhaled in its youth
We hold ours as soldier birches
Guard the sun's trampled path
'Tween equinox and dead-still sun
A scritch-scratch of black,
Forests turn back their edges
Grasping and gasping last hues
What life my winter spires of ice
Wraith's foggy mouthing against
Lips frozen yet parted for spring
