curb leaves
leaves shards
left braided
across concrete
leaves leaving
branches behind
a kind
of lofty
loss leaves
empty branches
stark as
lief to go

and this is 'life' and we owe at least this much
contemplation to our western fact: to Rise,
Decline, Fall, to futility and larks,
to the bright crustaceans of the oversky.
