And suddenly

and suddenly
i'm right back here
in this same place
just like last year
i blame the weather
my summer never came
my skin still pale like a faded page
of un-revised lesson notes
my legs are weary
my eyes are hazy
my mind is absent
so is the need to stay
i blame this autumn
a cold draught under my door
condensation on my window
waking in a dawn-dark room
i will watch the leaves fall
tread on them
feel the tingle of a cold birthday morning
in the pit of my stomach
i will smile for you
weak and thin smiles
