Waiting in Autumn
Singing sparrows on an autumn tree
Waiting for none, but for thee
Adornment of the seasoned bolls
It's the season of murmuring souls
In bits and pieces, In dribs and drabs
Liketh being eaten by nightly crabs
Quotes and poems, breath o blunder
Writing about you was always a wonder
Agree not to me but to this season
This lavender is on fire for a reason
