Autumn falls brutally
Scraping the earth with change
Everything good and evil is no longer
Inevitable and unstoppable.
Pastel-colored leaves race down crossroads
Crackling and turning into debris
Spreading news to human.
A secret silk speaks a word
That brushes across pale skin
And become whispered in your drum
Wringing your stomach dry.
The bare wood
Showing you the fate of man
What you will become
Fear becomes the woeful truth
Ignorance turns to bliss
Knowledge turns to solemnity
The more that father tocks and ticks
A little faster
The shattered jaded mirror you become
A little thicker
Glass tears fall from the eye of the winter storm
And gone man becomes
Into the blistering wind
