I welcome

I welcome the autumn wind;

the leaves close my eyes.

I welcome the winter wind

that puts frost in my eyes.

I welcome the cold;

the rattle of leaves,

the rattle in my chest.

I welcome the cold;

the coughing wood,

the crack of old branches,

the scratching of leaves.

Now I can sit quietly,

no nagging heat, quietly

among the cold, cold, dead leaves.

I get that with the leaves, but rain, rain, rain, oh dear for summer I grieve.

Ha, yes. Actually, it's spring I crave these days.
