sharped love

this shape I've become
shining scythe to future
a rancid harvest ungathered, un-gatherable
and yet you sow

a promise of rotten seed
and yet you sow

shuffling feet through bones of lovers past
rows of wheat painted white
crushed calcium
and yet you sow

scarecrow smiles the warning
reaper's sympathy written 
in mixed blood and dirt
and yet you sow

sweet lies moisten cracked lips
whetting stone to sonorous crag
but all ears turn toward desire
Yes! wind as sower and siren
and blame the fates on our false folly

...and yet we sow, we sewn sowers
whistling to our doom
