Meander

how often have we wandered
as the summer drifts away
and the silence sinks in like
the last heat of day
the crisp and crackle of the leaves
still clinging
by dry fingers to the trees
who shake
and shiver and try to shed their arid embrace
wanting to be free of the burden
to reach up into the amethyst sky
and scrape the autumn into being
scratch a cloud and it rains
and our skin is quenched
as though by tears.
