October Nights
October's nights
lay on us
like wet skin.
Leaves everywhere.
Gold soaked medallions
in the early dark.
We walk the city's
sidewalks.
Shadows hold
daylight under drains,
to be released into
tomorrow.
Dusk now rinses down
foggy wells. Deep
grays baton the
process. God's promise
released in a
quotidian embrace.
We go on.
Each to another.
The whiteflash of the
walklight sanctions
movement.
We cross the street,
bridge the evening,
listen to the cafe
music as we pass.
Rainwet faces.
Smiles that dim at
the ends of days.
We kiss.
October's evening
shuffles into night.
O Domine!
