OCTOBER
I felt it, then
A stillness in the air
A silence in the sound
As if, approaching,
It harkened
An audience aware
As I pulled the wheel
And turned the corner
Blinking lights
Flashed a warning
They all pulled over
As the procession
Moved past
And I caught a glimpse
Atop the casket,
Just a peek
Beyond a curtain
That no one pulled aside
Of a starry night
And red and white
Moving with the music
A Danny Elfman eulogy
Toward death superlative
A waiting grave
Measured to the inch
And dug in silence
Like the wind stirring
leaves in the gutter
And the clouds skating
Before the moon
As into the distance,
The lights grew dim
The hearse now a blurred speck
Of warning
Harkening an audience
Aware
