“At last, the autumn winds found us once more.”
A.R. (September Arrival)
Aries: I don’t know why all the trees change in the fall, but I know you’re not scared of anything at all
Taurus: Windows swung right open, autumn air jacket round my shoulders is yours, we bless the rains on Cornelia Street, memorize the creaks in the floor
Gemini: Show me a gray sky, a rainy cab ride, babes don’t threaten me with a good time
Cancer: I walked through the door with you, the air was cold, but something about it felt like home somehow
Leo: I’m five years old, it’s getting cold, I’ve got my big coat on, I hear your laugh and look up smiling at you, I run and run, past the pumpkin patch and the tractor rides, look now, the sky is gold, I hug your legs and fall asleep on the way home
Virgo: Your sweet disposition and my wide-eyed gaze, we’re singing in the car, getting lost upstate, autumn leaves falling down like pieces into place and I can picture it after all these days
Libra: Gold was the color of the leaves when I showed you around Centennial Park, hell was the journey but it brought me heaven
Scorpio: Loving him is like trying to change your mind once you’re already flying through the free fall, like the colors in autumn so bright just before they lose it all
Sagittarius: I recall late November, holding my breath, slowly I said, “you don’t need to save me, but would you run away with me?” Yes
Capricorn: Pack your dolls and a sweater, we’ll move to India forever, passed down like folk songs, our love lasts so long
Aquarius: When I felt like I was an old cardigan under someone’s bed, you put me on and said I was your favorite
Pisces: After plaid shirt days and nights when you made me your own, now you mail back my things and I walk home alone
windows flung right open
autumn leaves falling down like pieces into place, and i can picture it after all these days...
words, how little they mean when they’re a little too late..
