"I kill the dead"

I kill the dead
leaves crisping brown
leave only flakes behind

I strew their entrails
as dust jacketed
across the walk

Their corpses snipped from twigs
by gusts of air recycled
by we parasites

they flutter helpless over concrete
skeletons of springtime past
betrayed by nature

Rubber soul sinks
crunches autumn
sifts its thinly threaded veins

the consequence
a mutilated remnant
once unbroken green

collapsed into itself
to humor modern man
who kills dead for their music
