My Poetry: This Future Me


This Future Me

 

This Future Me
 
I walk,
the lush hour
upon me,
past corpses
half empty with souls
moving like atoms
along paths
carpeted with gold
leaves, ruddy
and decaying,
in the cold
of autumn’s breath.
I look down -
I see shoes
scuffed at the toe,
cheap fabric woven
to suit my job
by Asian hand,
my adolescent eyes
do not recognise
this man –
this future me.
