Crushed


Crushed
All are gathered
To be crushed
Pressed together
After grown apart

Too sweet
And sickening
A smell
Remains

The fire rises
Up along the ridges
The valley smoke
Is remade as frost

Rolled away
Is the wasted sunlight
Decadent and fattened
From months
Unhung
And now brought about
In such a wind
That chills
The goblin child
Of winter
