November (Makebeleive)

Board the windows, winterize...recess with my mind

I have some in-between time...recess with my mind

Quilt of voices, piecemeal scenes...shutters clack

Hush. muffle time

Painting of a different stream...recess with my mind

Jack Frost taps the window sill

William Tell atop the hill

Dreaming arrows shoot the hay

Autumn's color wheel will fade

Stones thrown to blown spun glass...recess with my mind

Re-invention. Nurture Past...recess with my mind

Escape our Independence Day

(Battle in decline)

Correspondence won't relay...recess with my mind

Redcoats raid the Raincoats' space

Soul to storm upon each face

Clouds with roving eyes set sail

Cannon cottonballs of hail

Autumn raged the skeleton trees

Kings and queens and squires flee

Chessboard battlements ablaze

Battle photo bleached away

Lonely with the company

But when November calls me

Creation melt my enemies

Hibernation. Silencing

Makebelieve

Memory just short of what it could've been

It didn't last, it went away

Always knew it would.

It's good to leave, it's sad to leave

There
