autumn 2020
September slants sideways
lost sunny afternoons
blurred seamlessly into
autumn's night cocoon
Glossy eyes gleamed brightly
under blood orange harvest moon
sweaty fingers intertwined
feelings strong as a typhoon
Darkness creeps sooner, winds of campfire fumes
stomach butterflies nibble at my insides causing September blues
water color lines melt between my days
from acid trips in your living room
Green leafs grow crunchy
reminiscing June
change to 1970's shades
of yellow, brown, orange, and brick maroon
Studies indicate September is the main cause of sideways thinking
so I'll do a running start cannon ball into a pool of your thoughts
then I will let them dry onto my skin like paper Mache under September sun
pupils as big as our favorite childhood cartoon
