Replying to a comment on:
the coming of Fall (Villanelle) by Sasha
I read in bark of blasted trees, that Fall
was on the wind again and coming back
deep in the changing woods. With a loud call
I went to bid it welcome back where all
its glory was a year before whose track
I'd read in bark of blasted trees that Fall.
I came to where that was. Only a small
bush was unchanged. All else betrayed a lack
deep in the changing woods. With a loud call
I yelled for you and tripped before the tall
willow we loved beneath, whose going black
I'd read in bark of blasted trees that Fall.
I punched it like a block and felt it spall,
then like torn linen let my fist go slack
deep in the changing woods. With a loud call
for you, like mad wind I began to bawl,
heart cut in two with the condemning crack
You hear in bark of blasted trees that fall,
deep in the changing woods, with a loud call.
