October

October is a great month.  I am very excited for UnderOath and going to Allie's house this weekend.  I hope the parents approve.  October here is very different from a Jersey october though.  Here is a poem I wrote last october:Battalions of the dead part silently

In a dance of unimaginable intensity

Scarlet, crimson, ochre, and gold

Soon consumed with rot and growing mold

The cycle continues new and old

The snow deep and the frosts cold

But when the ground thaws and the warmth be bold

Nature’s laws unrolled

And the bell of the changing seasons tolled

The new bud springs

From that rot and mold that endured the bitter cold
