October Burns Burgundy Poem by Dyhanara Rios

The feeling tearing through hearts
And minds
Quick and fleeting
Like summer winds
Before it's completely gone...
October burns a shade
Of burgundy
Flaming with fuel from
A sorrow-sudden sea
Of gasoline

Softly spoken,
Life's too short to commemorate
The battles we win against
Those we despise.
This message was replied
With screams and cries
From sorrow-sudden spies -
It's not:
There's too little time
To be pushed around
And leave vindication unfound.

October burns burgundy
With love and victory.
