Poem 54: October on a Napkin, Somewhere

You don't need to tell me
I'm mediocre, white;
I know that in our brief seasons,
We lose our green and become
Vibrant and hallow, we sing
Red, gliding into orange.
Who should I blame
For just standing here,
Romanced by stone walls?
Fire, fire is the answer.
I am in love with my own
Falling.
