Return of the Poet

It is autumn
grapes are bleeding.


The orange color
seeps into your eyes.
Will you shut the green lids ?

You,
start reading backward.
Atavistic instinct
to dig up the severed hands ? 

Your house,
died
in the flower bed.
Seeds were crying.

I enjoyed reading your creative poetry today As I always do Satish. Have a wonderful day and may you find even more inspiration to write as the day goes by. Love, Carol

This is either a reference to some horrific incident I have no knowledge of, or is just plain surreal, either way it made me think more than most, interesting read.
