Compost Heap

by Michael Morbid

Fog envelopes the Sun
Clouding the sky
Rivers of coldness
Scar the landscape
Shivering, shaking branches
Shedding the skin
Painfully decaying outward
To rot, To fade away
An unforgiving delight
Decomposition
Final stage of life
Laid upon the Earth
One last poetic gesture
To nourish
My mother's garden

as the devil's jester....
