November Knows the Beauty of a Line

A single leafless branch extends across a cloudy, grey November sky.

Hear me read
the poem as
an MP3 file.

Watch me read
the poem as
an MP4 file.

November knows the beauty of a line:
One stroke across the heart of a gray sky.
Vacancy is where true vision lies,
Eternity redacted into time.
Memory now moves into the garden,
Bringing with it music never heard.
Each slender, naked branch is like a word
Recalling the lost happiness of Eden.
