Remembering October

Remembering October

Like sinuous leaves, twirling one-by-one

Down toward the earth’s floor,

He caught her, as her mind’s symmetry aborted

Amid the boundless exchanged pleasantries of chortles and verses,

Muffling the surrounding shrill of base and treble,

Leaving nothing but a soft pink noise and the rapid girdle

Of mottled images—as it seemed;

An incomplete lucid dream

Discerning the self. But within a blink

The eye exposed, in the same place they still stand,

Gazing, and petting. Only now

Where the leaves once landed

hoarfrost shrouds the grass.

It is December.
