A PENNY FOR YOUR THOUGHTS

How are we to find eight short English words

that actually stand for autumn?

One peculiar way to die of loneliness

is to try. Pretend November has

a sliver of ice in her throat.

Pretend it is nice, pretend the sliver

of ice is nice, and beckons you.

Talk for half an hour about the little churchyard

full of the graves of people who have died

eating nachos. Go on until you can go no further brown.

Let the river flow. It is written in stone.

Let the sparrows take your only coin

and fly with it, twittering over some main event.

What color ribbon will you wear in your hair?

Now the clouds look burnt. But first they burned.

To you I must tell all or lie.
