When Autumn Came
This is the way that autumn came to the trees: it stripped them down to the skin, left their ebony

Whoever wanted, trampled them out of shape;
not a single moan of protest was heard.
Birds that herald dreams

became strangers to their voice
when their song was throttled.
They dropped into the dust
even before the hunter strung his bow.
Oh, God of May, have mercy.

Bless these withered bodies
with the passion of your resurrection,
make their dead veins flow with blood.
Give some tree the gift of green again.
