Like a Feather of a Vulture.



Times are changing.
If I look closer, I can see
The greed bleed from the leaves.
The ice is coming soon.
I can feel its fingertips scraping
Against my pale skin.
I am home, back from my stay in
The big city of the south.
This has been my home
But I smell death in every parking lot.
It creeps through the air like a feather of a vulture
That lands next to me as I stare at a stone with my name
And lie in the ground as if it were in the plot.
