I love November! I love November! It's not because of football. It's not because I came to my senses and switched to cross-country my sophomore year. It's not because of the sheer beauty of browning leaves and reddening leaves, and yellowing leaves.
I love your November.
Is it mine as the day closes early
and faerie lights are on automatic
at 4:00 p.m.
I love your november
with naked trees catching
sky patches.
the 11th month
as if the beginning
and end made
sense by Caesar
rather than the turn of the wheel.
Yes, your November
knows scores
and just where the cashmere
sweater is folded.
This new November,
the first when the veil
is translucent, this
my dog walks the rainbow bridge tonight.
