Life
This dance of death done in the fall!
The Sugar Maple bleeds,
ground tattooed with leaf imprints,
red and brown traces of a onetime life.
Nature at its height, a painter’s pallet.
Nature dying
striking, vibrant.
We are like a leaf.
We get one life to make radiantly bright.
So that our falling is
majestic.
