Analysis of The Vultures And The Evergreens
fear not the hungry feather,
those who have cracked earth return to garden,
limbs and a scent too alive to attract
the seekers of the sign of death's decay
those that scry in search of no afterlife
find company with cypress in repose
these collectors of the dead sweep the skies
and sweep ground below with their hunting eyes
