COOKIE CUTTER LEAVES
dark green cookie
cutter leaves -
so many
they shouldn’t matter?
do we love one more
than the other?
if each one gained
an inferiority complex
cut their wrists
from the old oak tree
and flew away
to who knows why
leaving us
with broken branches
would rain run
mascara from our eyes
produce raging rivers?
would Spring become
a painful season?
