Berries on a Tree

Now that the leaves have left
and the sun has faded,
now that the nights are cold
and your skin is coarse,
are you lonely?

If I were a sweet little faerie
I’d live close to the forest leaves.
I’d lasso a lovely monarch
and fly free on the afternoon breeze.

The tree outside our balcony is changing,
although the days are still warm.
September steps forward,
and I bid it a peaceful welcome.
