The Fall

               The Fall

I think that I will be an autumn leaf

In dying.   I will turn to blowing red

And glowing amber. Yellow’s autumn grief

Will sublimate me like a glistening dread.

October skies of vivifying blue

And indigo November afternoons

Will only serve to polish up the coup

Of death.  Contrasting hues will be cocoons

For transmigration.  Perfect maple sap

Will wait till corpse is sure.  A white-ish spring

Grows slightly warmer.  Friends begin to tap

The memories then.  Oh, Death, where is thy sting?

..All this is very prettified with rhyme

….But I will be reducing down to slime.
