About this book
The Naked Autumn is a series of emotions where vulnerabilitv is attended. Despite the defiance of the beloved, loneliness, unattainable longing, and the hunger that didn't seem to rest.
It's a poetic notion that you're not alone in what vou're feeling. You may have lost yourself to the gloom for a while but you will eventually find a way out. There's always someone out there who has had the taste of the same gloom that has left you so hopeless and weary. Even if that someone is the one addressing you right now.
When you're hurting you look for comfort and someone who rested their head on the same pillow in the past and grieved. You're always in need of a shoulder to rest vour head on and pour your heart out and be completely naked in what vou're feeling.
This compilation of prose is to attend to your nakedness.
Read a little of the book.
God gives me the knife.
I bury it
God gives me the knife again
I bury it again
Then God gives me your love
And I stab myself with it.
Love.
Make it remorseless. Let your bones ache, and bend
while taking their name.
And don’t just stop there. Love. Make it loud. Suppress
the cries of a child and comfort the worries of a mother.
Love.
For the mere purpose of loving.
I’d been terrible with my heart
I neglected its woes
each time I let love rule over it
But tonight it’s sound asleep,
That tormenting reign is over,
and the casualties are long buried
Turn through the pages.
