Falling
the wind turns my apple tree
into a victim, a lover banging
on a closed door of gnarled wood,
a dance makes this ringing evening
singular, the leaves agree to fall
and turn in the moving faith of air;
they tell us about birth and departure,
about leaving together, stories of
ending as the sun arcs and protests
