Fall

Fall

A Poem by jacob erin-cilberto

Fall

 

 

i loved that sweater on you

a curvaceous invitation

to walk on paths of scattered leaves

to talk of outcomes with the right income

of picket fences and puppy love

grown to old age in dog years

 

of tears, and fears and forever's

 

 

i loved that sweater on you

but then you gave yourself away to someone else

hung that throng of threads in another's closet

when you were wearing him

 

left me

to walk on paths of scattered leaves

with scattered emotions

and a lonely hangar

 

my outcome---

I love this. It's one of the reasons I love fall so much. I love wearing sweaters. They're so cozy.
Sad when the threads come undone though...
