Ode To Last Fall

I cry a poem for the last fall
when
a bottle of date jam was opened
a can of toothepaste was gifted
a lump of weed was thrown out by mistake
a midnight was lost in the reflection of the moon

almost

when
a sigh was lost in the veins
a memory was washed out with soap
a journey was interrupted
a poem was written and corrected

crying a poem over a poem
written and forgotten

almost

standing by the road that went nowhere
without a head, thinking thoughts
playing cards with a deck incomplete
writing the editorial on inconsequentials

the fall came and departed

almost
