Autumn trees
shed leaves like half-forgotten
memories
shaking off the past
to reveal their naked truth
in wintry silence wait to be reborn
We toss those piebald leaves
in wild abandonment
delight in scrunching them between our toes
It must feel nice to be an autumn tree
flinging off its clothes and shouting … look at me!

Spring hath long passed on
summer but a sigh
autumn leaves compost
sheets of rain fall
somewhere it is snowing
Winter is nigh.
