After Autumn

After autumn will we be?
After autumn is there dreams?
After autumn will we be?
After autumn is there dreams?
Will we be?
After
I can’t see
After

And the trees sway so bare
Like ghosts with souls sprinkled in their hair
Liquid zeppelins stain the sky
A fading blue bruise that wounds me high

Why is cruelty so easy?
Why is cruelty so easy?

Autumn leaves still the air
Like light that’s gone away just disappeared
Winter rains last so long
Shadows lie in wait even after the dawn

Why is cruelty so easy?
Why is cruelty so easy?

Weak death chants no winter
No snowy death comes my way
On Autumn’s breath

Hope reduced
What is the truth?
Hope reduced
What is the truth?
