ABSCOND
In April, We first met And it was Love at first sight.
Well, it was for me, It would take you a Few days to realize Just how good I could be.
And you found home Here in the shade With room to grow And food aplenty.
I kept this Heliocentric garden Just for you, After all.
Until July, when I learned The hard way that You weren’t the gentle Souls I thought you were.
I am sorry so many of you Cast your lives away Ineffectively trying to stop My theft of your stores.
Efforts and rewards amazed, I gave you more and more To keep you happy. And yet, it seems it wasn’t enough.
And now in the dearth I watch you abandon me. Leaving me confused And hungry.
Oh! Little friends! What am I to do now Without the lustrous treasure upon which I bragged so heartily.
You do not know Abandonment My swarm Only how to Abandon.
It seems this Autumn Everyone Is Leaving.
