Sad Yellow Cardigan

Sad 

yellow cardigan
walking 
through the 
fallen 
autumn leaves
of loss. 
The years
of candied apple
love mixed
with 
all spice
tornado. 
Crunching leaves
and sticks 
of footsteps
cry
out to 
the crystal
reflective 
lake surface. 
Begging the
wooden history
to replace
yellow
with 
the 
burst of orange
that accepts.
