I'm Watching

I’m watching the sun set

Like some golden warrior

Dying in glorious battle

On a battlefield of trees

Blackened by winter’s deathly touch

*

Like some handsome shimmering sword

Slashing its way in slow motion

Through a lonely forest atop a hill

Crowned with tombstones like decaying teeth

* Like a stabbing wound

That leaves behind a deathlike calm

A bleeding sky

Of brilliant and sudden awareness
