i’d prefer to remember summer

cold november rain
early dark depressing
i remember sun striking warm

there’s someone of eye fire and feminine
lithe love ripe
laser of thought

her man makes her ill with joy
intensity such happiness
how could i ever dare challenge

yet she in her feminine the feminine way
opportuned me her penchant for complication
i love too much to dare acknowledge
for i am a destroyer

now cold november’s rain
she’s moved beyond
yet i compare all

it’s unpleasent
my necessary betrayal
i must ride

Ovid’s “Remedia Amores”
hard journey
i can’t be november forever
