Strange skein (Day 1043)

Remember those you leave

stung by a wind like dirty snow 

that tears away the end

of your warm life   row by row 

you knit   that strange skein 

unwinding   comforting 

as fall’s remaining leaves 

their spice carried on the air

red and gold confetti   long after 

you melt into a slow mist 

rolling high among your dark hills 

where ancient landscapes speak 

words long forgotten   and curious 

children walk toward goodbye
