Autumn Duties

Outside, mellow glass walled in

The world exposes a faltered glow

as hearts do beat I hear the sounds

of fellows steering through puddled roads


Walls warm, though still compelled

while thoughts tugged as though by string

to look among the fields below

ghastly steps twist days to dreams


Words spill across the keys and screen

spirits still, locked and cold

hours spent to ask and know

while life whirls on beyond my window


Breaking leaves off stems and fall

like sifting sand by nature's hand

Though fingers grind for future gold

today is lost indoors alone.
