Subject: snap: the fall
all too quickly
the return in time
as leaves leave green behind
this yellow, gold, amber not
déjà vu exactly just
a remembrance come again too soon
a harsh wind this day
begins to denude the trees
too soon this early fall
no joy in that of leaves
but hard earned schadenfreude
should one party follow that trajectory
