Autumn's Halls

Wind - June wind
gusts the chimney
cold air autumnal
unfriendly

mountain cuts colour
black scythe
lemon sky
where the sun left with the day

purple comes
fades to light navy:
no true night here
in June
in Summer
with its cold, gusting
Autumn wind and heavy cloud

it is light
through the dark hours
little sleep in Summer
with its cold June wind
its brooding day
