I
watched You die in yellow
As
green leaves rushed to inhale gold
In
a whirlwind of yellow and orange.
I
watched You die in orange
As
Your open limbs blazed and dazzled
Like
a wide, old, lavish maple
Sweating
in orange and red.
I
watched You die in red
As
unstained blood
Burst
forth from Your heart,
As
crimson pulsated,
Spreading
through Your veins,
Overtaking
You
And
all those sheltered
In
Your sunset colors
Which
scatter over brittle wheat fields
And
corn stalks cut from sin-cursed ground
As
winter's bleak uncertainty
Breathes
upon its neck.
I
watched You die
And
watched You rise -
Your
heart is beating -
Over
the autumn earth.
