Ode to October

O October it seems even though thee pass capricing
    like sometimes wert here 
     and sometimes octopus of a thing or ocro
  or what somehow oakening through-  on breezes and 
   tides and sunlight stir and darkness. 
  And if thou be something still around I wished to be 
    the local sight of the moon here or amidst, 
    and if thou be a mountain I wished it to be this particular 
   Gangriwal or Mandra or Murba, 
   and  if thou be a tree I wished it to be pear or sweet 
    lemon fruit that sometimes we buy in the market, 
    for we love again and again this  cheerness  in October!.
