Questions of November Romance

she served me a whiskey
smiled and said hello
although we barely spoke
when we met four days earlier

four days earlier i was running errands
parking on a busy one-way street
pausing to seek drink and conversation
as summer bled into fall

fall a time of reflection
of seasons past and age
memories of friends
and i asked myself if i could use another

another time and place the reflection
my heart bore the weight
of those who've come and gone
as i lived my many lives

my many lives whispered as i looked at her
each a song and a poem
each a never-ending refrain
memories rekindled on a day in november

Enjoyed the way you wrote this one with the end of one verse beginning the next with a twist.
