Sweet scent of autumn's flowers dying
with the shadows of leaves, and geese honking as the wind shifts its direction.

Neolithic dead were frequently placed
in rivers, and floated down to the sea.

Leaped from rock to cantering rock,
water circling as I slipped, and fell
backwards toward the freezing sea.

While Orpheus plucked on his guitar,
I drowned in the illusion of being alive.
