Autumn
Paper bags in the dark,
Soggy and soiled and swollen
With the damp cold,
They stuck to my teeth,
They tried, they squirmed out
Of my reach, the silly fuckers
Smoldering with purple hues
Of makeshift flames, electric
Oh darling,
I think they’ve gotten to me
I see them in the distant horizon,
Pitchforks in hand.
