Autumn Blood

AUTUMN

BLOOD

Fall fall

Fall the leaves

The blood-red Autumn

Sighs and grieves

For in the gentle

Blood-fed womb

Leaves are crushed

An Autumn tomb

"And the Word made Flesh"

For "excommunication"

But flesh wouldn't say...

So exoneration

Nor did flesh demand

Or articulate

Only "morally-bankrupt"

Not "excommunicate!"

So fall fall

Fall the leaves

The blood-red Autumn

Sighs and grieves

In the land of the blind

One-eyed man's king

But on his head

Autumn blood will cling!
