Dream when Spring
Leaves behind
A heave of finger
Slung across
The cool, wet, dirt

The forest leaves
A paper trail  
Magnetic poems
Splayed on the ground

Winter’s tail
Still whips these parts
A play whose language
Precedes its cause

“I’m the wind
that strikes you down”
Unseen his words
Feel brittle now

A mad breeze burns
Floods frantic hair
The skin of drunken need
All will twist upon a course
That nature slowly weaves

Each poem lost
Or burned for fuel
A catalyst
A need for more

As dampened dirt
From loss of blood
Has finger
Dig your grave

I will find you and read your work…

You who fell not far from tree
