november
autumn unfolded this evening
every storefront a solemn silver grate
I turned down twenty eighth
to find company in the cold glow
a woman ducked down on the pavement
to pick up an abandoned plant
it sat aside a trash can
and a cardboard box of other cardboard boxes
small purple flowers
tipped with brown
she carried it down the street
around the corner
she thought something of it
something more than I or anyone else had.

favorite place to write about.
