Inhaling Autumn

by Kristina Woodhill

air
heavy
on my inhale
trail me
to my hanging

purple
unstrangled
full to pop
I am meant
to cluster

muster
before small paws
bring their grab bags
clip me
clumped purple
like a shear haircut
leave only my strong arms

night time sounds
all alarms
prints on black plastic
their hands are as full as mine
see their masks moon me
open mouthed
I open mine and
swallow
purple
smearing
summer
all up me
and down

Ah my sweet you may not recognize when I come begging at your door with mask of lamb say bah, bah, let me taste you sweet hand for I am only a small wolf in sheeps clothing. Nice write lady. As fall comes to light all over you with cool breezes.

I've always loved the crisp air in Fall. The Weather in NJ has started to change- long, hot Summer. I LOVE how you capture the elents of the weather. Always a pleasure to read your work.

grape harvest? I love how sensual this poem is, Kristina--I can almost taste it.

Autumn is a time when little tots and great big tots show up at our door for their annual tricking or treating and I could not think a better treat for such tricks than to offer them your odes. candied corn or candied apples on a stick would surely pale in compare.

My favorite time of year. Thinking maybe you are talking about a plant, personified as you and you it, with the color purple. All round, great construction and cadence, along with the lines...imagery: clip me clumped purple like a shear haircut

Seasons explode in purple majesty as autumn swallows summer and the world becomes a brisk breath. Great read.
