October's Blue...

Yesterday, and tomorrow, 
and especially the day before,


October's blue.


The deep, 
deep, 
hueless blue


of a billion billion breaths,
taken and not...


Breathless, thus,
and brilliant, 
October's blue...


bright, bright blue 
of dew-drenched bee and flow'r,

the warmth and the damp and the chill 
that is 
the blue autumn air.


Simple, 
clear,

unfathomable,


October's blue -
the mystery.
