rose garden

i'm finding currents
and high notes
resolving to eat you with a cracker
scattering seed for sparrows and juncos
i see faces in leaves;
these are my humble people
i will not see them burn
these are my masses
that whisper the warnings
the birds note
the blood on my fingers tells lies
only the earth suffers
as it prepares to receive me.
