Uninvited
You arrived unannounced
bearing blackberries as gifts
round and bursting in their skin.
And though you didn't stay long,
you left them behind
on the white table linens
seeping their wild blood.
The stain is there still
growing darker
as time passes.

October Country
...that country where it is always turning late in the year. That country where the hills are fog and the rivers are mist; where noons go quickly, dusks and twilights linger, and midnights stay. That country composed in the main of cellars, sub-cellars, coal-bins, closets, attics, and pantries faced away from the sun. That country whose people are autumn people, thinking only autumn thoughts. Whose people passing at night on the empty walks sound like rain...
