give/supply rotting fruits to

Left some time by a killer
Rotting and decayed
Crying loudly as a ghost
Who will avenge my murder?...

many girdles graced your cask
as short shelf life of apples
your rotting core stinks...

Broken, rotting, and dead.
You picked it up and revived me.
You brought me back from the dead....

Hundreds of rotting coffins 
A Jesus made of marble 
The priest shivers when alone

fallen, rotting tree
a short pause to sit and think
what was in this exact spot
one million years past?
my dog whines impatiently
as if he already knows......

It has been long since I walked this mile,
Thoughts rotting inside me, I feel vile
The trials of my mind I shall always keep....

Acorns
painted leaves abet
oak attacks: acorns,
   tripping me up as
illegal fires smoke
rotting pumpkins
under fake blue skies 
white sunshine
beating down
the cold...

The streets of Laredo have no green fields,
nor has it fruit trees, nor rotting yields.
France has no cowboys that anyone sees,
and cowboys are never called deportees....
