The Scent of Autumn

By Coreyamaro

                  

Yesterday afternoon a light rain awakened a new scent.

An Autumn breeze rushed through the open window.

A hunk of Roquefort waited on a baguette, next to it a

Half peeled clementine and a cracked pomegranate gathered on a terra cotta plate.

A glass of red wine that hinted of blackberries wet my mouth.

Sitting on the kitchen chair I pulled my sweater down over my knees forming a cocoon,

dreaming of roasting chestnuts in an iron skillet.

I watched the leaves as they gave a graceful free fall dance.

The season's aroma are awakening an appetit in me.
