Fallen

By: Ric Ohge

Just a little leaven
will shut the doors of heaven.
Then the loaf remaining,
is only useful for
fooling foolish fish,
while the wine needs fresh oil
to garnish a salad,
and flies on the window sill
rub hands in anticipation.
Outside, the last rays
of the fading day
cannot warm
the bitter roots,
choking in dark, dry, dust.

Selah.
