Stained Glass Mosaic Leaf

Stained Glass Mosaic Leaf Harvesting fruit At its time At its peak Ripe pomegranate Sprout from the earth Shedding antlers and teeth Fruit burst Petals And leaves Collapse Swept by the breeze Seeded and Nutty with sap A morsel of faith It’s breed Reap A luxurious dessert feast Stained glass mosaic leaf Ripened and hued Fall on dirt, On concrete Flap its wings Collect dust and rain Drawn off branches Brown it turns Swift and graceful it maintaines Loosened, crinkled and snapped Haunched over its back Delayed is its speech Shoo it goes and leaves A dance of death A jubilee Marckincia Jean Free verse 09/07/19
