Capitulation

Capitulation

A Poem by J.P. Bristow
















































To rake the dying fire

Leaves

Me cold and empty.

Fields of umber cling

Silently

Fighting

Northern gales

A few rebel

Thumbing the wind.

I wonder

That

We think them extraordinary

As they skirt the fates

But in the end

Despite all protestations

We are all

Nothing

More

Than mulch.
