Dirge
It too saw the omen
It swelled and colored up
It picked it out a grave
And resolved itself to fade
It stuck its golden face
Beneath the lowest limbs
Its shadows ran an extra mile
I reconnoitered this
I saw it take a swan dive
Then tumble like a spill
Then slip away post haste
Behind a waning hill
As Temps climbed down their stairs
And Flowers boarded doors
This killer used his blanket
It was time for Light to die
And splatter its remains
Toward moons and paste the airs
With throes so magnificent
They melt away the sky
It happened every day
this spectrum of a crime
that I was oft a witness to
and teary every time
