I Don't Know What It Is About October
posted 4th May 2025
I don’t know what it is about
October
How slyly the incoming course of
nature discovers obscuration
When man or woman has plotted
a very good back trail
Into woods where darkness
transcends sunrise where small
beats lay beaten and no pulse
bothers the morning
That place
A kind of agreement with yesterday
that it might be best this way
And we do it well
Really, it’s called living
Then the month that announces the
horizon
just feels that it can govern
And so many lovers are sent in
October
So much hope arrives in tow
with a steam train, on a platform,
that is always looking like a vintage
frame
saying: this was my plot and the
script was well known
What a good film we would have
made
But you came in this month, in this
ever conundrum
Please leave.Please come again.
