The Way of Wind and Autumn Leaves
Autumn leaf,
You fell from the sky;
I watch you
Lightly flutter by.
The wind will
Not stop pest'ring me;
My bones are
Chilled as you're set free.
Your sisters
'Neath feet crumble fast;
People crunch
Them while walking past.
The trees are
Flaming, without doubt;
The wind takes
You-- your fire's blown out.
