Although I had heard

of this place and even knew

some of its residents,

I never thought I’d end up here,

 but that’s where I am. Turns out

it’s nothing like I thought 

it would be and actually

I’m lucky to have arrived.

So many voices

filled her head 

that she couldn’t

find her own.

With October nearly gone

and the real cold almost here,

let’s celebrate this in between time 

when we find ourselves 

saying goodbye and hello

like we do with each passing moment

and every breath we take

consciously or not.

I suggest he reschedule,

but Knox has pressing business

that requires immediate attention

so out we go at 5:30 this morning.

JDG

Pumpkins must wonder

why they suddenly

become sought after

in October only to be

unceremoniously dumped.

JDG

Sunrise and sunset –

glowing reminders

that neither darkness nor light

lasts forever.
