of september



last night, towns dreamt of
mists and bridges and 
droplets of paint.

signs fell to the curb, rusted,
back when leaves were
things to step on
and
everything was gray

faded letters, then
the shining aluminum of
a smashed can of soda 
in the midst of a ruined building.

maybe this is a fragment 
of yesterday, tipped into
today

like dreamlands visited 
again and again
only to seem so familiar
each time;

and the skies turned
pink

OK - I really love the verses, but please tell me why you named it "Of September"! Why not "Of December" or whatever else?
