Shirtless

The chill whispers change
as it surrounds me.
Embraces the hair on my skin
tickling the nerves
renewing my senses
a shower of steam
drifts off my body
The autumn air choked
with burning leaves
grass frozen in anticipation
A perfect moon, distant,
perched low above the trees
deafened by the still silence
of my heartbeat.
