Stars never it seems stay still. All their twinkling are for nursery rhymes and astronauts

She liked the months of October and November. The brilliant reds oranges and yellows and then the decaying browns

All of this was to her a statement of skeletons; the caw of blackbirds and the future of red cardinals against snow

Colour held its theater of life and death by the throat and its choreography of light and darkness in  nimble piroettes

    I read the 'she' to be Night, a distant, ambiguous sort of personification, who can toss out poems, while holding colours by the throat. That 'statement of skeletons' where blackbirds 'caw', the decaying browns and the red against the snow are such unsettling images. I think this is one of my favourites of yours.
