October over
The month of birth and death is gone
Into November we are moving on
Time for the cane grinding to begin
time to guard the persimmons ripening
from the nocturnal possums
time to boil the Mason jars for the syrup
time to check the Gravely for stale gas
Making sure it still cranks on
Thanksgiving morning
time to send someone down to the IGA
for the pancake batter and bacon
we don’t won’t to subsist upon cereal
when the time comes
