And it was green when we walked;
the grass stood tall where
now the shadows fall and come
together restlessly.
Now it is yellow, the crunch
of bones on my boot;
the skeleton of the past
lining the path with broken
fingers. You wore linen for the heat,
I was purple in pleasure
but could not see nor hear
the first leaf fall.
Snow, ice then all is slime.
