October

~

born a haefest child

an autu boy, watcher of change

patient unhurried curious,

attuned to subtle colours

plum, gold, marmalade, 

burnt lemon, lichen

connoisseur of aromas

truffle, musk, fungi, bark

smoke, rain

maestro of moods

melancholy, pensive, 

wistful

I am the autumn child

fader of light, closer of harvest

bringer of sleep and reverie
