Fall into my arms and let
yourself be like Autumn,
till the season passes slowly
stripping me of my veils.
May I be a bare branch in the
end—
locked in a winter that forgets
the world, but knows I shall
reveal no secrets.
Keep me warm under your
breath where you gently
hold the found honesty of
what I am when faced
with change.
