I like all of this ... the layout ... its symmetry ... first thing I noticed ... nice flow ... great line breaks ... "-that!" ... which jolted me ... in a good way ... I have never seen that before ... set things up perfectly for the last line ... welcome to DUP ...

It's a wonderful and heart tugging piece, the grief intertwined with the season and cold leaves reeling in the pain of loss. The treasure of that locket feels magical.
