sunset.
In the south, the ocean is still warm for a little while in the fall
and in this town, you only get it to yourself this time of year
helping you make the best of that stuck feeling
but I want to know
what is it about October
just beyond the coveted golden hours
when almost every sunset looks like a painting
and hope is a little flimsy
as the year sees it’s own end coming
but it was here and that’s something
making me feel just maybe
that I could shed the shame
like summer sweat
or a summer feeling I never meant to let happen
in a time when many don’t feel like starting over
and yet here I am thinking
I could do it now just a good as January or spring
I could maybe make this life a place to be again
