Becomes the stinging flies…
Part looks into your light
And lives to tell you so.

                                                James Merrill

I haven’t seen enough
                                                of fall—I haven’t and can’t be
                                                                content
                with a drive by drive through
                                on my way to
some stop quick slip it all in and make it
                home
                                to suppose at dusk a dusk under
                the and over the
                                                tree I walk beneath I haven’t seen
                                enough see this girl I knew once she
                                                                came through
                                                sometimes

                                                                sober

s              om         e                                             ti             me          s

                                                (k) not                                   and she’s not

                                                                                now
                                                plain and simple and won’t ever be again
and I wonder if                I hope so                    she saw
                                on that rainy day
                                                                                before
                                                                she
                                                                                                dropped

dead
                                if she thought
                                                                                yellow

                                                look
                                                                yellow I love
                                                                                                                yellow

                it’s dope it’s lit look I haven’t seen it since
                                                I got out
