September gives way to Winter And all novel substances will fade, In that you will find an ulcer in the rose And the tall grass lays fragile, And the moon will get bruised, and the sun become swollen, And the flowers will cry when plucked, For cracked stems do bleed, And the harvesters' tools will remain perpetually sharp, Here, where love is extended to our mortality, you will seek me only to find I kneel in crushed grass as I press wounded petals to my lips Awaiting the gardener who'll slide shears along my soul as he seperates the seasons of me
