autumnal feelings

Memories melting like caramel,

Staring at clocks,

Staring at hands,

Staring at time.

I collect rain drops in broken acorn shells.

When I'm thirsty I take tiny sips.

But the water's salty, it's been turned to tears.

And I have so many ghosts.

They hide in my teeth sometimes,

When they go haunting,

My teeth hurt so much I can't eat.

So, I'm withering, like soggy paper.
