Image for the poem Unpainted Wood

Unpainted Wood

Falling beyond the pale
and raven-blue wings    
of death's mortality
as if a stake
grayer than the shell  
of unpainted wood
as if tall corn  
with lips crimson
from drinking blood
as a new world begins  
within the bounds of eternity  
reaping the corpses  
giving into the carrion  
in unplowed fields
