Deciduously

You did not want to play? 
into the strength, 
of the other.

Wrecking the pecking order, 
to become poorer,
giving away your entire height ?

I could live,
without your blasts, O sun, 
but I need my moon, 
for whole night.

It pervades, 
the dark matter, in every pore.
Like gingko tree 
I will drop all the pretentions 
tonight, and become leafless.
