Lady Exodus

It's getting darker here.

Autumn has set in,
and soon
winter
will shiver
into the earth;

A pastel serpent
to lull us into
gorgeous
purity.

Whiteness of
bloodless slumber.

It's getting darker
here,

breath-taking
as the leaves die
but make
such pretty warmth on
the ground,

like it was
apologizing
for the frost and
bellish
winds which brought
the cold.
