Chrysanthemums



Glory tinted globe
Chrysanthemums ,
Burnished copper
Turning red on gold,
Clustered feather ends
Falling roundly to the hand,
Most apt for gloomy apse,
Their ragged edge
A superficial smile
Nodding at the coffin's edge,
Most apt for autumn's gift,
A munificence of fruit
Before the winters chilling depth.
