Julian Day - October

lyrics

October

A single minute, short bookends.
The baton raised, a breath—

Lightness in the lungs. My heart
trembles. How could I ever

say enough? The truth spins
and rattles, round and round

the brain stem, its centrifugal force
invisible under scans. Yesterday’s

unremarkable. Today I’m gone. West
to Victoria: maybe now I’ll find daylight,

peace in cold salt water. In all
the Arbutus trees. Garry oaks.

With everything else
just barely hanging on.
