seest thou
(ambergolden)
something whirling
from off the tree?
(!)
‘Tis Larry:
Larry the Leaf.
Larry is in the grip of gravity,
whirling to earth.
flashing now grandly
in the twilit
sunlight
dizzily dreaming
of when he was green …
~
Soon, he(it)
settles,
on/(in) a bank of softly-fallen, softened
(Lisa & Lennie & Lea the Leaf)
melding to mulch
sans name
& sans dream …
… ………
Rest in peace,
little leaflet leaf:
rest in sweetsome /
dreamlesssleepy /
sleep ……….
