The Quiet Ache, Folding Laundry, Desire, Long Socks, The Candle

 🌙🍂The quiet ache

Of past memories 

Waning moon 🌙🍂

—

🍂💐Folding laundry 

Isolated with the moon 

And white flowers 💐 🍂

—

🍂Desire 

Growing comfortable 

Scuffed slippers 🍂

—

🍂Long socks 

Pretty sure the weather calls for 

A woolly hat 🍂

—

🍂The candle 

Drips and illuminates 

The cornered shadows🍂
