Three Fall

Member since 2002 · Posted 23 Oct 2003 · 7 comments

I always heard your words and wondered for your core. There's a crawling sensation and my calendar is ludicrously long. I felt the metaphor, when I picked the falls. There with another, once, for a quick, chilled visit-- I questioned the brevity of that stay in that midst. And I wonder if the thunder I hear now is memory or premonition. The weight of all that water so near, skews me. You skewer me, like I'm made, missed until the Ides of October hit.

'And I wonder
if the thunder I hear now
is memory or premonition.'

Is beautifully put as is the opener

This begs for repeated reads, and gets better with each one.

It chills the warm cockles of my forgotten admonition to stay out of the water. Good vote though.

And I was born the day after the Ides of October, a Libra without a cause. Must have been a painful gathering eh?
