Fall In Fall
the fall sunset falls
a golden cross, shattered crown
darkens red and gray
ravens trill to sparrows here
God too in shadow, remain
the girl is fifteen
where the turn is very far
fire and ashes melt
in the midnight falling sleet
leaves hold to her bleeding heart
a chill that's carried
all the forest remembers
grown up to the sky
the gloom of leaves still remains
though boughs have lost their red cheeks
