frost by Emily Davidsonthe 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 11/07/2006 Posted on 11/07/2006 Copyright © 2024 Emily Davidson
