A Seasonal Poem

fall equinox

ah people
it is the time of year
to bury fruit in pine coffins
and dance with its pressed vine
make love to pears high up in the hills
wrap your heart in loaves of moss
and digest boulders in your veins
people do this now
and you will know to what roses bow
blackened and curled in the frost
