unbitter death                                                                              aj padron

​The smell of moss and dead things,
warmed by rising sun,
the carrion eater’s call rings
above the clear springs run

The heat of day so tiring
the nature so relaxed
the sweetest death aspiring
the creature’s minds untaxed

Green on green with brown below
draped in palest yellow light
only naturally, life will slow,
and wake once more at night.
