Autumn Shrugs
Autumn shrugs off summer
like Alzheimer's shrugs off
wit, slowly and methodically;
purposeful and nonchalant.
This dire deterioration
welcomes dank darkness,
chilling and finite,
long-winded and overbreathed.
October winds shake and stir
the very foundations of our
civilizations, and rock the
metaphorical boat of blissful
nesciance; eventually capsizing
the bleeding vessel, until its
veins run dry with
suffocation.
