russet leaves
-3-
(dead season)

They're holding hands
it's never been like this before
a bass line fumbles in distress

Mugen is bleeding
incarnadine on the floor
who's the one who started this mess?

Jin can't stand
shaking hands strain to reach
they've all been running to the sky

ragged breath, and yet
each cut is so neat
she says don't

shaking hands

don'thands strain

don'tstrain
