after—difficult
decision! lays 
waste to a whole host
of amateur wool-
gathering  
poets 
this season!—hellbent
on shearing 
an assiduous little
of October's soft 
light off the old tops 
of its
mangy oak pillars
for the generous 
benefit of imagined
forests of grateful millions—until
for 
instance—heck, are we sticking 
with—persimmon 
then? or 
going—
for the vermilion?
