Harvest
by S. Brackett Robertson
Don't flay my skin to bone, love thorn-cut red ribbons let fall like so many leaves it isn't winter yet and I need this flesh, this skin encasing bone ay, you have shed your skin, love, and still your wrinkled face shows through you have shed your leaf to stone, love but I am not like you.
