Unbuttoning

Scratching the rusted face 
of the dust storm? 
to read the message.
   
             I have come very far,
             from the old stinks.
             It was not the escape.

The unshaped sap,
spills from the cut end?
of treetops. I gather your cones.

             The fall begins abruptly.
             It was a landslide of
             leaf drop. Yellow and brown.

I wait for the red.
It reminds me of blood 
dripping from your poem.
