jaw

"jaw"

the scent of
withered leaves was
infectious.

seasons lay shattered at the edge 
of town. August and September cradled
like lovers fallen from windows; remnants
of an intimate suicide.

his breath stagnated as the sun rose
and fell. hidden in chrysanthemums 
collapsed in lilac

under emptiness while his
heart drifted outward moving
deep into the trees.
