Thunder; a deep, low roar rumbles through the air Gales slam like a battering ram against the walls of the house, trying to break in.

leaves’ souls burn up in red, orange and yellow flames gnarled bark shivers in bare naked branches pale sky wraps up for autumn in a coat of clouds sweet rain quenches thirsty soil and greedy roots faded petals crinkle up like tissue paper, shrivelled but bulbs beneath sit fat and warm, sleeping and waiting migrating […]
