October dribbles - 18

The moment before it rained
The ground was dry.
The sky threatened with gray but I
Was kneeling in my memories
Pulling weeds.
The future drenched me.

The moment before witches
Flew the sky
My Halloween was memories too
Of twigs and paper hats
But dire
Adulthood wrenched me back.

I love these lines, Sheila! They're absolutely brilliant:
"The sky threatened with gray but I
Was kneeling in my memories Pulling weeds. The future drenched me."
