Autumn

Autumn has turned up

  at my doorstep.

          Again !

Drenched, tempestuous, frowned.

  Rusted leaves are coiled

in her dripping hair,

  a gray, foggy cape

wrapping her to the ground.

  She pierces my soul with

cold, distant eyes.

  Her breath smells of

rottenness and rain.

  Dejected, I bend my head,

       then I sigh.

My hopes she forgot

where I live were in vain.
