Dark days

Each leaf that drops is a ticking clock.
The trees shed their summer dresses,
They're naked.
The exposed branches send a warning.
It's coming.
The nights stretch.
Along with night comes dark,
Long, dreaded, dark,
The icy dark wraps round my neck like a scarf
Before tightening like a noose.
I sit and shiver,
My blue lips quiver,
The cold comes and whispers in my ear,
Winters going to be long this year.
