Poem: Autumn Burlesque
By Anthony G. HerlesThey dance on the leftover air of September
Still showing their full green gowns
Then changing their costumes into October
Wearing reds and yellows and browns.
They continue their act in the mid-autumn chill
Still covering the truth of their gender
But soon they undress and continue until
They end their act as naked November.
—Anthony G. Herles
