autumn poetry

i had over-prepared the event
in the dark and peace of my final bed
that strange companion came on shuffling feet
shadows lay along broadway
have you seen walking through the village
we lay
the sun is up
like eagles on up high
were it not for that singular smell
within my hand i hold
master of human destinies am i
along a river-side
do you hear the rain?
my true love from her pillow rose
