An End

Something in the air this night
Heavy with cherry pipe briar,
As we leave what matters most
To silence – the exquisite liar.

We know this will be an end
Though it is left unsaid;
A filigree of morning frost
Upon the rose, still red.

There will be no final call
Or late night coffee under trees;
I caress the car to life,
Watch the wavering, falling leaves.
