Scarecrow In Still Life

The scarecrow silently screams in a still life silhouette,

dripping lines of dampened darkness across the vignette.

With ragged coverings drooping, pinned to a pecking post,

he shivers in the still breeze, always threatened by the host.

A murder flaps in frozen time, neither future nor past.

Amidst blackened iris fields, the scarecrow shakes aghast.
