the crispness of mid-september

so today I rose,
a little earlier than normal but
rose nonetheless with
the deep-down feeling that
it has all ended.
only three weeks since my
hasty exit from your parents
home on a cul-de-sac
only three weeks since the lies
and the dirt and the
filty, filthy shame were left to be cleaned from
my hands.
(even though you were the one
with the shovel)

the cold, autumn rain has stopped
after 2 days of too-chilling winds and
clouds that seemed to only
threaten to fall.
I rose today to the sunshine, to the sound of
nothing to
the crispness that is mid-september.
