Slick of the palm

Love is moving house.
The abstraction of us
Has come to rent-
A room or two, an inch,
A second split in photons.
The visceral is packing
Its shredded leaves in colors.
Autumn has never beheld
Fresher to the blind eye,
Its revelations, in layers
Like separate soft skins
Of a perfectly-shaped onion.
Thoughts grow amagnetic,
At the very end of the mind
As fall transpires us, parched.
