i am september...


don't let my appearances fool you.
i am the queen of decay.
i open the doorways
to darkness where souls
of sun-wearied
revelers
run to hide in shame
from the misdeeds of their youth.
i am the queen of shadows
who digs tunnels into
hillsides where
lovers lay
beside
one
another
aching in death
for one last breath of life
to kiss and fuck again.
but i rule with an iron fist.
i say "NO!"
when it comes time
to end the
games of 
the deception of
imagining there is such a thing
as
eternal youth.
you must realize,
death is all around you.
i display her so you
can remember
that your
time here
is oh,
so
s
