october she
makes us feel!
makes us dress
like the earth is queen!
of our fashion
scene
october she
awakens us
to find our comforts
we keep…
all the colors
get worn
under blankets
we sleep
all fall
we all
internalize
it all
see us faded?
taking it all?
taking
the Fall
in?
and the apples!
gathering them
in our arms
for cider…
we circled
the base of the tree
soon the kids they
circled
their stomachs…
they learn to clutch
under the willow
where they weep
stomach-clutching kids
apple cores
colored leaves…
all gathered
in arms
boyfriends
girlfriends
mothers fathers
aunts uncles cousins
soon fall
we all
toward sleep….
kinda dark
kinda cold
kinda lonesome
the harvest moon
hedges
cool draughts and worries
the heat of our breathe
now seen
hedges
the gentle waves
dissolving in cool moist
morning air…
thick with flavors
of colors
of fall
remember last night
the truth?
the dare?
foolin’ around…
or trying to get there?
with someone
you love…
or want so bad
you think you love!
you woke up with them
or without them…
either way
all happens so fast
in october
They’re there…
then not there
anymore
where did they go?
where were we
during it all?
christ!
to not remember
we must forget
and move on
into masks
and Halloween preludes
the winter
the dying
what was so fast!
almost flying!
knaws on us
begins to splinter…
someone must
feel the pain
of its absence
so deep
we wish we never
touched that
sometimes
we wish against
the truth of our own
long gone yearnings
hard fought dreams
come alive…
the touch
the intimation
a ripple cross the pond
and right through us
damn!
chills
all down the spine
every Fall we all
follow these
waves
out to the shore
all fall
we all
expand with expansiveness
of mind and rest…
the life of it!
just if you look
around
all fall…
we all
got a snail paced
epileptic
we got after after after
shocks!
we got all the ideas
but no one
to dare…
no one
singular truth
you left us…
you leave us
sometimes
in the dark
stone cold!
flat footed!
in fall
the earth feels cool alright
under foot
fall
i know you know now
i know that
only
we all
know
what way to go
we
all fall
K IS SILENT
