Tainted Leaves

Like sky and sea
Blood runs free
Through the rooted tips 
Of a breathing flea

Like tearing fingers,
A loving moth
Slices the cloth
Of a crawling sloth

Like folly bees
Rain sorrowful seas
Being them holy
Being them moldy

They sink
They clink
They blink
They think

Graciously, as if they were crows,
The shells fall like tainted leaves
Torn open from rocky blows
Down to oily seas of mud.
