October Time
October sun, the last of it, low and cold sober,
is blasting the plum,
turning its jam-dark leaves
to pale-green moons--they bounce the light
(also pale but yellow-green)
through the window and onto the floor.
October time.
And like the shadows
the foreplay
gets longer and longer. Lucky
are they
who watch
it vanish, October light.
Wait for them, October time.
~Murray Silverstein
