November sweeps,
Cleaning,
Shuffling the leaves -
a custodian,
his lisping voice
colliding vowels
in crispy air,
the clouds
bear sorrow, despair,
triggered the mystery
of expulsion
lives and deeds;
tapping in greeting attempt
the knees of
surrounding curbs,
he wrings twigs’ wrists,
turns outward dreams,
inviting to miracle
divination event,
asking: what for
you wish
to experience
November swaggers
leaf through the lives
happily.
That moment can show a lot when it is seen
