What’s Your Favorite Season?

there were leaves flaring
on hills, pumpkins,
purple asters,
harvest moon
in the sky and in the songs—
Shine on, and
Come a little bit closer—
so it was usually my number one pick
even before.
Then?
Then you arrived, a whole new person
I grew. Long legs and wild blond curls,
Unique and shining, close and alive, here.
So, the answer is always
autumn.
