"October's Release"
The autumn leaves
have fallen silently
on the ground
walking amid the crowds
of the faceless strangers
as they mockingly smile
smirk and point
the sins of the fathers
have been visited on
unsuspecting mothers
and their young
it is almost Halloween
with the masks and
the makeup
somewhere inside
the inner child seethes
unbearable screams
the birthing has finally
begun
the child held in her mother's arms
smiles gently and falls asleep
as the pain of motherhood lapses
lost in October's
subtle release.
