frost

by Emily Davidson

the leaves haven't finished
falling, but
there is already frost
on the ground
the grass like ice
dormant, motionless,
frozen in place

he stayed long enough
to pollute my lungs
and leave the smell of smoke
in my hair
but not long enough
for the frost to melt

wow. such strong descriptions.. your voice is so soft - you seem to say what it is you want to, but not in an obvious way. does that make sense? anyways. i loved it..
