DESERTED AUTUMN

Where empty rooms
search for survivors
in a cracked window,
how could he hear
the leaves crumble
in their deserted veins?

The red, purple and gold
diseased splendors
shake their chronometers.
Voices rattle the tin
cups of the leaves,
memories

begging for blood.
A phalanx
of blanched draculas
surges forward
to the dead drum
in a dog’s throat.
