BREATH OF FRESH AIR
there was one moment the leaves smoked
as a foul hot breath, until cold winds blew
then everything caught, such intense fire
as these flaming fingers reached for me
hot intensity, drawing me in once again
fire glowing, I held my breath, unwilling
turning to face this breeze that feeds me
breath of fresh air, pulls me to love these
maple leaf piles full of butterscotch kisses
