missed the falling

I returned to leaves

off the branches

down on the damp ground

I missed the falling

now it’s fall in

fulness

death under feet

crisp and void of

all the butterflies twirling

at the sight of baby blooms

in my stomach

the last of the vines were

lit on fire in the color

game of loss

I take another sip of coffee and wonder

Should I wash the windows before winter?
