Autumn

by Obscure   Jun 27, 2022


Feel autumn's breath on your lips
Fading, gasping, something to say
Listen closely as words slip
Between and too soon fade away
Autumn tastes like the deep sea
Salt and dead and losing color
And now you're lost in a bad dream
The loss of life sparks shouts for cover
Shaking limbs and spilling over
Blood raked in piles on the lawn
Return this flesh to the earth-mother.
She will accept the end has dawned
