•november• {Day 40}

lonely rustle

earthy-smokey wind-singe

flick and flash,

lantern-light over discarded

pumpkin grins

glimpses of red-rich,

berry polka-dots,

full-stop, year stitched

crispy-rattle,

raspy-golden, jeweled

bits that linger, forgotten

in deep sea, blue-black

velvety bracken

birch, bold-brilliant

white-of-hope against greyed-gloom

of shadow-y woodlands, inky

month of all ‘v’s

months, fly straight and true

cawing into my heart

claw the blackness back,

coldness and grim gone

goodness to start anew

close soul-listening

strikes bits of joy

deep-dive within

rustle of faith flames

up once warm again
