The leaf
I saw a leaf today
in the up-draft --
one last dance
and lift before
the Fall Finale;
crisping and fading,
flaking...but only an
illusion of death, for we
know the chemistry, and
the majesty of seasons --
thinking of our shared
love, the years of affection
ever greater...would be
an unforgivable pity
if heaven
were the only
contrary….
