First Affection

She left school on command and suddenly.

I felt autumn alone, visited her home.

Her parents chill as autumn in her home.

I was indelibly in first love. 

My first affection, visibly new.

Her quick laugh always a sparkling shallow pool.

A shallow pool her reflexive sparkling laugh.

My learning stayed on hold the teachers watched. 

I watched myself not learning alone.

Trees filled with shrill wind. I pulled closed my coat.

Wind resisted song stuffed beneath my coat.

Her shrill soprano safely distant from love.

Her soprano voice far from her self I knew.

Left school on command and suddenly.
