Postmortem Excommunication

Your Postmortem excommunication of the acorn cut down in its prime 
was like hurling obsidian from a glass castle

Your sharp words that you intended to separate my pulp from the rind
Was no more than an editorial with no reference to time

Just a flicker of his flashlight has left me blind 
Low attendance due to hassle

Snuffing your fading ember would be too kind
