it should be september when i am gone
there should be no desire in me
from the summer and spring
the leaf should fall down
the rain should start quietly
the soil should be able
to satisfy her longing for water
the sea should be combative
by hitting the shore
the wind should blow howling
the air should get chilly all of a sudden
even though i would not say “keep the change”
i should have no desire unaccomplished
the soil should be ready to take me
i should be ready to be gone
it should be september when i am gone
