Jewell Bothwell Tull

From “October”

  • The sob that comes after the weeping is over,
  • The smile after laughter,
  • Faith when youth’s gone and death beckons:
  • The sum of life, plus a dream.

    • I DON’T know whether October’s a man or a woman.

    When I say She, He looks at me with such masculine eyes;

    And when I say He,

    She shakes her red head at me.

    So I think maybe

    October’s a child—or a god.
