Transition

Hesitation 

hushed behind the glass

then the wind, wild with want

swung open the garden door

where the plot  

so long untended, unravels

the blooms overgrown

 obsessions haunting the rows

with heads bowed

waiting for the blade

oh sweet reaper

split us open wide 

suck out the marrow

then cradle the remains, 

the cracked casings

deep in the amaranthine keep
