Fall

I,m as dry and bleached as those downed leaves
                         That litter the lawn.
                         
                         And those crows that cough  for the coming
                         Of winter or death.  
                          
                         What turned here so while they swirled and fell.

                         Was it the leaves ?
                         Was it me ?
                         Or was it the calling of those crows ?
