This first appeared in Angle. They had very good taste, those Anglers.
In fall the flowers fail. The faeries fly
To Boca Raton and the Winter Wings Buffet,
The Bottomless Shrimp Bowl, Boundless Salad Bar,
The Seminal Seminole Margarita +,
And flash floods in your dreams. The flowers pray
To be dismembered in your orisons,
A Home of Unsaved Sepals in the Hills,
A past of pollen all their future now.
No cherry pie. No Anna Baptist Bread,
Dunked in The Living Chocolate Wonderfall.
No Date Night Date Nut Pudding in the spring.
The faeries book their seats for further south.
