Peace Offering<\/span>


talons rip<\/span>
the bleating heart<\/span>
sparkle berries drip<\/span>
their wine<\/span>
grasp and grab<\/span>
five inches deep<\/span>
visible by July<\/span>

flutter wings<\/span>
a pink profusion<\/span>
brown hangs<\/span>
on the vine<\/span>
threads of silver spun<\/span>
dog-eared leaves<\/span>
from the book of life<\/span>

death slithered nigh<\/span>
sipping syrupy tea<\/span>
from a golden cup<\/span>

they laugh<\/span>
you cry<\/span>

I peel potatoes<\/span>
with Paganini.<\/span>
 <\/span>
