\r\nSometimes it\u2019s as if frames from two different films overlap. For a moment. Sometimes longer. Occasionally the overlapping images complement one another, but often the experience is jarring. Confusing. Unsettling.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Seasons bleed into one another playfully, testing our agility, our resilience. Far-flung geographies, domiciles, and life stages muddle, merge, and drift apart again. Our worlds intermingle. For a moment. Sometimes longer.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
October Rain, Wordy<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nTell me a story
of prism pocks on pears.
Sing me a song
of raindrops on apples.
Pen me a poem
of flickering daylight,
flirting with nightfall;
of sleepless longing
for toil-oiled muscles
and limber limbed spring;
of sauntering through
my cherished orchard
in sultry summer,
still oblivious to
the dreary drama
of October rain.<\/pre>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nOctober Rain, Visual<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Sometimes poetry leans on language, word bricks and word mortar, to sculpt a song or a story. Sometimes vision is enough to free the singing underneath\u2026\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

October Rain, Singalong<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Another perspective on October Rain just might wiggle it\u2019s way into your mental repeat. I happened upon the subtly hypnotic jingle by Robin Jackson<\/a>, and now it\u2019s continuous looping like a subconscious 8-track tape in my graying gray matter.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n
