broaching winter

it's october
and somebody said
it felt like 78 degrees
today,

i didn't believe them.

everything
from here on out
will just become
colder
and colder,

until we are made
of parkas
and fleece,
and the only noise
that we hear
will be the saving grace
of the defroster.

i swear,
one more winter like this,
wrapped in the fluff
of dreams
that eventually turn
into natural disasters,

and i don't think i'll ever escape
this season again.

when i'm there,
and the weather hits,
there are no faces
upon the heads
that remain
in the sun.
