A Letter in October
Ted Kooser
Dawn comes later and later now,
and I, who only a month ago
could sit with coffee every morning
watching the light walk down the hill
to the edge of the pond and place
a doe there, shyly drinking, then see the light step out upon
the water, sowing reflections
to either side—a garden
of trees that grew as if by magic—
now see no more than my face,
mirrored by darkness, pale and odd, startled by time. While I slept,
night in its thick winter jacket
bridled the doe with a twist
of wet leaves and led her away,
then brought its black horse with harness
that creaked like a cricket, and turned the water garden under. I woke,
and at the waiting window found
the curtains open to my open face;
beyond me, darkness. And I,
who only wished to keep looking out,
must now keep looking in.Funnies

Nice Nautalis article, don't think I would have come across it otherwise. +1 for the Calvin & Hobbes strip too. I've been meaning to watch the documentary for a while now, might have to bump it up the list.

I enjoy Nautilis, there used to be more articles from them on Hubski but there have not been many of late. Someone should change that.
