September

For Talia, my autumnal affection

I fell in love with you

In September-

In September,

The month that signals

The end

Of growing,

You plucked my

Ripened heart

Before it had time to
Wither

On the vine-

In September,

My barriers, defenses,

Doubts-

They fell away

As the leaves

From the trees-

In September
As the animals prepare

To lie dormant-

So your love has

Awakened me-

In September-

As everything

Perishes around us,

Each kiss from you

Breathes

The breath of life

Into my asphyxiated soul-

In September

My body was born-

And so my soul

Has been reborn

Like a phoenix

Rising from the ashes of

Defeat and solitude-

Autumn is the Spring of my being,

Because I fell in love with

You

In September-
