Anniversary

Fall and all attendant memoriesCrowd the day with unrelated historiesEach year leaves its unresolving fantasiesTo hang around each cornerHang around each street.Thick with ghosts, the wind whips round in circuitriesCarrying words as strangers exchange pleasantriesDo they intrude upon your private reveriesAs they meet you on each cornerMeet you on each street.Watch for daily braveriesNotice newfound courtesiesFinger sudden legaciesAs they clean up every cornerWash down every street.Mark the month and all its anniversariesPut away the draft of all your eulogiesClear the way for all your private memoriesAs they meet you on each cornerMeet you on every street.Make the time for all your possibilities.They live on every street.
