Pitching
i take direction
reckoning where
the wind might
wind up blowing
the alphabet that
i just threw
in the air
thinking like a tree
spreading supposedly
randomness but
knowing since
a sapling how
the pattern
will be
spelling
perhaps not
words in an
English tongue but
in some sense of
oak or
elm
i never rake
or throw away
but mulch for much
has been said by
when leaves
have fallen
and again
where they've
fallen for this year
the squirrels and
the trees agree
cold to even
freezing
but
not
a lot
of snow
and
i believe
them
amen
