October 29

Love like sleep
on a late autumn day–

come in from the cold
and settled in place.

Relief compared
to being out by the lake

in all this rain,
caught in the rage

of branches in a squall–
a leitmotif, the urge

toward the perilous,
but this the theme:

I return to returning
(da capo al fine)

even setting out
I draw closer to you.

        Seems so yes! Now we’re experiencing the season of mists and mellow fruitfulness that Keats immortalised so well…
