Autumn came with ghostly calls

sun has shrunk on low tide shore

butterflies have flown for good

leaving us anchored here .

I met you on a winter’s day

by chance came knocking on your door,

your troubles made you stay away

but autumn’s wind has tied our knot

written us a  new love score.

I’m left, you’re right

I’m green you’re blue

we couldn’t be more different

but something’s tied between us two

& the autumn wind

with its winnowing breath

is loath to let us go.
