---

in autumn sun

you’re bound in nettle

cursing the earth

with hollow eyes

words you once hissed

broke the silence

of a thousand years

in the wild oat meadows

that we once shared

casting shadows in the tall grass

where the sun once kissed our skin

and we found our separate ways

in autumn sun

you’re bound in nettle

blinded by the rage in your heart

i can’t look you in the eye

you take your final shape

the poison that you’ve made

pulses through my veins
