hollow of tree

i was hollow of tree
all chicken wire & song
come that october country
of hoarfrost & dream

rime burnt leaves stained
gold to vermilion & bole
crumble wake perfumed
i waited there alone for
that coming of you

rook & madder
flint & score
crow & calling
bone & fall

i was hollow of tree
all chicken wire & song
waiting mists alone for
that coming of you

    Oh, the longing here is so palpable. Also love the repeated lines.
