Fall
Inspiration for the embedded poem in I Remember You and I
by Ramy

My own frightened heartbeat,
Swift as the fall winds
beat, beat, beat

fear of the mirroring clowns,
of the mud holding me
stuck under the changing leaves

Nothing the echoes of your laughter
couldn’t save me from
beat…beat…beat…

Pumpkin cover turning red,
the season of love has entered
Your world and mine.

Falling off the branch,
eager to reach your arms.
My own brightened heartbeat.
