Winter

I can feel the creeping want of winter
I dream of bare trees
The leaves shaken to ash

The air is slow to change
A steady whisper across exposed skin

The smells rotate
Smelling of nothing and everything

Crispy air bats reddened cheeks and hands begin to find homes in gloves, pockets and the warmth of another

The world seems too settle if only for a moment
Too drink up the anticipation of cooler months
