An October shopping spree.

An October shopping spree.

A Poem by Traxler
"

From the collection, Sighs in a Shell By Tylor Traxler

"
I fell into you And the chaos of your rhetoric 
Twisting me up like cable chords 
you were my sin in gracious Times 
My calm in troubles waters 

I fell into you like bad habits Of an adolescent 
That didn’t seem so tragic In our effervescence 
You were more like a shotgun bombshell 
In a fog, or haze of heaven 
Or an eleven, in the essence of the questions
I was driven past the present, 
in the matter of a second it took 
to breathe the message as my weapon 

What you want, isn’t what I need 
So, fall free, like an October shopping spree 
In the glee of summers hindsight 
When the wind settles, and the world fills with color

I can’t fall into you, I don’t feel it anymore 
But I feel the shore, it waves and leaves 
Like the autumn days, with you before 

Twist me up like chargers and small talk 
Afternoons on the art walk, 
Skipping cracks in the sidewalk 
I think I’ll meet you in Montauk 
Where troubled waters, they all talk
