Change

Summer unwinds us from it's soft, stifling embrace
leaving hot skin exposed to cool air.
Soon she'll be gone for good,
her side of the bed cooling with the breeze
from a window that was left open
and the door she didn't shut.
The melancholy emptiness of Autumn
will steal over in unwatched moments,
until the breeze blows cold
and you flip up your collar
and move on.
