Notes About The Poem

Leaves Will Fall

Leaves will fall 
Where they may.

Stones will stand.

Birds will lean into the sun 
On wires 
When they can.

The rusted bucket by the drain
Knows its patience well.

The buds that break a hardened bark
Will live to tell.

Morning’s air will touch 
With full-on kiss 

Each neighbors dog 
To yield another bark

The road will touch a tire, 
Say goodbye,
And leave its mark

Touch again and then
And always touch

And always then

And touch 

And say goodbye

To hands and other limbs

And others

What a marvel  
Is understanding

Thank you for all of this
Again

And again

And always again.
