Autumn
And this is how what dies ,dies
And what passes , passes
And what fades , fades under the layers of dust
And you ask
And I never answer
And ants carry forests to the tiny tunnels
And birds migrate to the fare shores
And stormes hit the shores
And sands drown an ancient village
And locustes eat what is trying to survive the climatequakes
Do you feel bored of the sea noises
Or the shameless clouds
How fierce are the windows of the night
And through its narrow panes , the nocturnal wind sneaks like a grayish song
Shaking the sheets of bed with bitterness
And cold is a scare on the noses
Gets blue in the frozen delicate finger-tips
And the trempling of the hearts
And you ask
And I got confused with the answer ,silent ,
And , silent , I melt in the roads .
