October

there is a certain 
brittle dryness 
on the edge of the page 

with the poem of today 
written in dark blood 
each word cutting deeper 
into the turn of the year 

oh I fear this loss 
of light and heat and colour and 

oh I hang on to the
constant closeness within 

a life of hearts ever flowering 

my fingers touch the page 
and savour the resilient delicacy
