To Take A Lover In The Fall {poem}

francoise-hardy

To take a lover in the Fall,

When the sunlight slants golden

Is ideal.

 

Tumbling softly, slowly

Floating and falling with the leaves

And landing in heap.

 

Autumnal in hue and flavor.

Persimmon. Pomegranate. Pear.

Crimson kisses on bare limbs.

 

To take a lover in the Fall,

Wielding warmth ahead of Winter’s chill,

Is to slow growth. Conserve energy for Spring.

 

To take a lover in the Fall,

When sunlight slants golden

Is to save the trees from dying.
