arthritis tippled wooden relief plugged in a bed of mud
the leaves that decay to its side
compliment the carved ones that feather the face
but it is creaked crevice and sinuous
a kind crumpled face or maybe a stern yet approving parent mask
two seasons of weathering
withered saturated and withered again
this self unearthing
worth moulded from
the decaying green man
reapplying for a creative birth
for a visit on the Autumn hearth
filling in its ****** details with broken and discarded
school yard pencils scudded over litter and mud
soon to be worshiped again...
would settle for a respectful gift from a child
for all his wonders in spring
he has envied the witness of harvest
but attention goes to other gods
he pouts out of season for no one here greets him
