I Know A Thaw Will Come Once More

Spring's a divine-pearl in a midnight's core Cold but I know a thaw will come once more Your lips-burr-blue waiting to be kissed, soothed What once was silent, icily suffused Now like fiery leaves, cries on the floor doled Does a wooden-knot twist my soul fourfold? Spring's a divine-pearl in a midnight's core Cold but I know a thaw will come once more. Seeds-sow-songs on-the-four-winds to climb, But know it is the end of summertime Residing just outside an abattoir; Feeding on fresh blood or rotting gore Its gold is a harvest, needs no cold store. Lives-in-labyrinths like some Minotaur Spring's a divine-pearl in a midnight's core Cold but I know a thaw will come once more. I know my poetry for falling leaves The serpent's tongue kisses as it deceives What's spoken in truth will always ignite Shadows shed in light glow-naked and bright. Autumn buries fruits in my heart and soul Sleeping-roots that have clung tight now extol They whisper of how the wind and water Speaks - now-of-winter and a knifing slaughter Spring's a divine-pearl in a midnight's core Cold but I know a thaw will come once more. A blizzard of knives a fire of bees A sword of amber cutting through the trees How everything falls naked on a breeze Will have you praying, rising from your knees. Autumn, cherishes cuts you like a thorn Ah, waiting someday, soon to be reborn.
