come October
bring me your finish
leave the reading to its job
theft in Brooklyn terms means harm
loving the beauty in your death to forever
as I do
makes shameful my plans to try and forget this
vibrancy in myself that I've always associated
with you
rewriting the touchable world
one glittering truth at a time
to balance out the lies
chronicling the unthinkable
I steal a leaf from your fading tree
for I love the richness you show me in
dying things
even as winter chases you naked to the ground
for December's glory can not be won
with leaves of your break down
still haunting branches among the un embracable
wind
we attribute such fall to winter's onslaught................
