In our collectible bins


In deciduous forests...


No mention of forests, please,

Any more and chiefly

On these deciduous ones.

They don't exist

As we knew them

In summer and autumn

Filling their lives

And desperate hopes

In our collectible bins of hearts;

We shunt them; missed;

Now those who run

The faith nurseries

counsel us to dine

With tomorrows mirages.

No, the winter offers

A better dinner

Cruel, but wiser,

Factual.
