Autumn Equinox by Marina Zrnic©



                             


In the woods the summer dies.
It howls and whistles like broken dignity,
such is the night of the autumn equinox.

The church bells provide us
with a shallow feeling
of our existence echoing through our souls and teeth.

We walk and we sleep without talking,
we´ve replaced the talking with the suffocating breathing
that I had not known,
not even in the darkest times.

Forest is such a suitable place
for a lady like myself.
I lick my wounds among the wolves,
sprinkle the salt to protect me.

I feel fine, so accomplished.
I´ve given up on all common ideas,
my bed is cold and austere.

I wake up as soldiers do,
I march wherever the universe decides,
I have no wishes of my own

but to always walk 
among the equinox trees in the night.
No need to talk.
 Words fall as apples from the trees.

They make a hole in the ground,
in my soul.
