There's nothing quite as right
As a loner in October
The chilly wind reflective of
The coldness of his insides
And the leaves, dropping off of twisted branches
Are a tribute to his solitude
We dress thicker in fall and winter
Our extra vestments create a shield
His posture is his armor
So he is right at home
The long shadows of evening
Make it easy for him to hide
As he careens between them
Unnoticed
Everything's a little darker in October
Everything a little drier
A little grayer
A little more dead
A little more gone from this world
So he is right at home
