Title Here
 

Who's coming?

November blackness against bright tints effete:

as archetypes the last sunflowers blackly sit.

Beside them the residual rosehips fade.

Bare at the tops, tree cowlles drip and shed

what's left in clumps or single, even the nut tree bare.

A remote gun that's licensed rehearses from afar.

Fog cancels and blurs the ugly little doubt.

I wish I knew a gag, too, for the advent shout

Who's coming, is here, and multiplied?



As usual the radio forecasts a simple hurricane

that usually on the way be deprived ofs its force and stride.

The water tap's been lagged against unexpected frost again,

the parcels are tied up ready for mailing; and

very presently Christmas threatens our Novemberland.
