The First Day of NovemberA Poem by Alexander GillespieI saw a girl standing out in the cold, and wondered if in some alternate world we were together. If that could happen, will parts of our lives always intertwine?
Frost makes beautiful the world.
Crystal shards of cold, I stamp feet to touch what sits underneath. Breathe life into resolute mits, Life moves gas, moves water moves trapped, hung in the air. The world is open today, Inkblot and milk, Bare to the light of eyes. Curtains of cloud draw from sight. As I shake the earth A girl walks by. Pristine, coat and buttons, Life lingers from her lips too a locomotive tremble through the air. Something else tresses her body with a soft glow, lamps gaining to heartbeats. Pirouette, Spirit, pierce through as if you were fire. What if our two lives touched, and mixed in the aether, particles of soul in motion drawing the cloud to a close. © 2012 Alexander GillespieReviews
