Leaf Grief

A pack of leaves at the end of a dead-end street.
Whirling without warning, surrounding invisible things.
Like a pack of wolves chasing a hobbled elk 
Suddenly they are perfectly still...feasting.

If they had teeth, I think they would bite me.
A pack of leaves at the end of a dead-end street...
is a lot like grief.
