September Poem

September doesn't really care
for the ruby slippers
or the hard queen
or the soft queen.

Nature is rather hard
to offend at bottom.

The yard wears a fresh groom
next door and the poem
is always almost in love,
wondering why there are no elevators

or even escalators in cemeteries.

It seems a very Roman idea

and almost glamorous. La Scala

such a wonderful way to say goodbye.
