Autumn Sings Amber



The sunny dance of summer recedes now. Sunlight and sunscreen part for soft frost-bites, green trees lose leaves and fade into the cold, jackets front, and the quizzical winds and roar of cloud invite an early twilight, the temperature falls next to nothing. I watch teasing rain flirt with speculative sun. And the day wounds up early, flattens on faces still on the go. It's near night mood at 4 post meridian.
Yellow amber of Auntum comes in, and the song of short days spring, jackets sprawl the city centres from Devicka to Skalka, and Autumn at Starometska sits on the eyelids of Charles Square.

About this poem

The poem concerns my experience of the way nature responds to time and change in climate in Prague. It's a meditation about Autumn and how people react to it.
