More than a few
children on this tree.
More than a few
adventures,
sadness and happiness
in beguiling and blazing leaves
in beguiling and blazing leaves
These are
leaves in trees,
and strange nuts
in the family tree,
a single page
in a dysfunctional story.
These are
skeleton stories.
These leaves are
spotted, stained
or damaged,
or damaged,
holey,lonely
atbranches
atbranches
afraid at edges
Like hairstyles the ends,
stems are long
or short ends curling
or short ends curling
in or out
Today I saw aspen leaves
as yellow icicles.
