Just like Uncle Sam

Falling in Love with Autumn Leaves
David J Walker
It seems liked I’ve
Lived this fall day before
Autumn is all that matters
Winter will come
With implicative lore
the moon derives
the underscore
what’s more
The breath bequeathed
In a summer breeze
Will freeze if it
Really matters
Haywire ghetto, lingering corpses, malingering sunshine,
Malignant malediction, staccato with disseminating stench,
Portending: ichor, insipid blood and wenches.
Juxtaposition of aphotic with aphotic; incognizant iniquity.
Noxious oxygen, attenuated jasper, jejune jardiniere:
Zion.
Smoke: implicative cornice,
Sherry or vitriol?
Ours, a world, that feigns polo in alcohol!!
