November - Updike

November
by John Updike (1932-2009)


The stripped and shapely
Maple grieves
The ghosts of her
Departed leaves.
The ground is hard,
As hard as stone.
The year is old,
The birds are flown.
And yet the world,
In its distress,
Displays a certain
Loveliness---

Who are we now but who we must be... age is no mystery - it is merely the sum of our days, the equation of which is written upon our faces. -- Octoberwych

Shakespeare (1564-1616)
By the pricking of my thumbs,
Something wicked this way comes.
