The gray dawn yawns
without the sun in sight,
the autumn sky shifts
with a misty cobweb of fog.
Through the wet film
the tree’s green
takes on a dusty shade
without reflection,
just a tinge
of its former self dares intrude.
A clammy chill lies on my skin
spreading cold up
to the base of my neck,
like a screech too shrill.
Mornings like these I want to crawl
back to my cocoon,
that warm spot
buried deep beneath our downy quilt
and dream of you beside me
on a summer afternoon.
