i fall again, into you

again october falls, or rather i, into his crisp thick arms of late, always.
upon the speckled sandpaper sidewalk, we once sat, soaking

that crumble your lost (too close) childhood under your worn soles
as the leaves we pile on our far truth,
trying ,as the leaves, we fall.
