Here is an excerpt from the poem "I Am October" I am October, a withered bloom, the last snippet of summer, clad in knitted gold and scarlet unraveling wool sweaters. I am splats of color waning, and I am hungry birds craving sweet clusters of ripened fruit from green and supple boughs. and from "An Autumn Wind" A gust in Autumn said she adored my knitting and snatched the threads with her bitter breeze. She unraveled my sweater of various shades, and hung it as jackets over disrobing trees.
