the inevitable chill

the inevitable chill

A Poem by jacob erin-cilberto

the inevitable chill 

 

 

November incentive

cold, damp resolve

the twitching of an empty branch

once covered with dense foliage

of memories

the summer love that couldn't withstand

frost silences

 

I want October back,

we had a chance then,

there still could have been beauty in us

 

but life is a quickly changing season

and regrets that already fell from the tree

cannot be reconnected,

no matter how many bonfires

we set to stave off the snows

to come.

Using the seasons to describe relations ships is always a great analogy.
Here it is done fantastically.
