[@Publius]

Hedges are cut by clippers.
Leaves falling like water over cliffs. 
Those hedges are hairs cut by clippers. 
A beard shortened like a lawn mown.

Legs and arms are falling from their bodies,
Cut by sharpened edges.
Bloody limbs falling like water over cliffs. 
Cut by sharpened edges, like the hedges... 

The hedges of Eden are cut by slithers. 
A short beard kissed with a long moan. 
The glory of Paradise withers.
Shame cuts short what could have grown.
