October Drama Is All About True Stories
My seventy trees / Holding their gold-ruddy balls / In a thick gray death-soup, / Their million / Gold leaves metal and breathless. Verses by Sylvia Plath hit into the bulls-eye of the autumn mood, which intensifies with warm days coming to an end. Sadness, stiffness, inner hibernation... Or perhaps not, if you watch drama on the big screens this month. There's much more to feel than being blue and low.
