One breath speaks farewell.
The other sings a mellow tune.
The third hurls words in a cry.
The last throws an exotic play.

All conjoined to a depressing day;
The death of a single player.

One dances as if on fire,
The other shakes and weeps in fear,
The third stands apart with a bundle of buds in her arms,
And the last watches with a sickening glare,
All in September.

May we see the dead again in another day.
Alas, dear friend.
The player of your own life.
As all stand high for what you passed in September.

Few feet under with the beat of thunderous rain,
All never felt so estrange with you.
In the life you once lived,
Which ended in September.
