Autumn is Coming

The air smells of rain 
And
The cigar smoke of small town captains of industry
Who sit upon their horses so high
Lightning and life 
Both chained together 
Not fearing the lion or the wolf
Weathering late summer storms
Stirring up old emotions
We gather in courtyards and on Government building steps
Calling for action
Waving our signs 
Small voices joined in unison
All the books have been read and closed
And cleaning out my old car I found bits of you 
It sinks me 
Like submarines on the ocean floor
Forgotten and rusting
