Poem: Phalloides

 

Phalloides

 

a clergy of pale cowls

preside over a banquet

of frothy decay,

 

and we wonder

on such fleshy bald popes,

brash as condyles,

 

how they glisten,

sunbathing in wind

 

as it buries autumn

in remnants of greys and yellows,

cold as an aimless gravedigger.

 

the only excuse

 

a death angel ever needs

to batten on the fallow

and prophesy snow.
