October
October clouds piled high
like down comforters
blocking rumors of sun and sky
A fall chill seeps through cracks
in casement windows
someone forgot to seal
Strange blankets
stored in dank closets
for days like these
But too high to reach
not even with a stool
nothing to do but shiver
Even worse is the mid afternoon
dispersal when the proven fact
of sun clears the last veil of vapors
Cloudless, infinite sky
suddenly unceilinged.
to look up is dizzying
a vertigo of the already fallen
seeing for the first time
the extent of the fall10/15/24
