enfolding the rawness
of newly formed wounds
The branches of autumn trees,
laid bare
exposed
and braving the season’s new chill
Leaves yellow, crumple,
fall to the ground,
wetly melt into the earth.
until the sun pushes through
a burning glare
stripping away the blankets,
here to heal
to reveal some possible truth
to keep the slashed hillside from staying
mired in the fog
