Autumn knocked on my door
this morning
Her hair was auburn
& she was armed with a pumpkin spiced latte
Her scarf was like a blanket
& her boots were lined with fur
She pulled me in for a hug
& squeezed me so tight that my snack
Of assorted biscuits
Travelled it's way back up...
The scents of cinnamon & star anise
Whirled around & choked the air
Every waking day
I am born again
Adopting a new version
Armed with a previous days
Knowledge
& history
& Pulling back the duvet
I will rise out of my sheets
Like a phoenix
Rebirth
I push the past
Out of the way...
Facing what's ahead
Until tomorrow
When I am
Born again
My lips quiver & shake
Chin following
Teeth cluttering
Mouth parted
Until I cry
Like I am a child again
Muttering a "This isn't fair"
Following with a stomp of my feet
& a kick of a chair
