Poem for November (Published in West Side Rag, Nov. 8, 2022

They’re hangers-on

Refuse to leave the party.

When all the guests have gone

They straggle slow

To find their coats and glasses

Misplaced, lost, never worn.

Excuses to cling like toddlers

Grasping mommy’s hem

Ready to burst in tears

To want to stay forever.

But Nature has a way

Rebirth and regeneration

Demand room.
