leaf and loam

 

faces in the green,

fading, keen

through tangles,

wrought from blackthorn bound.

leaf and loam,

first, falling 

bronze, then moist in the gloam,

as autumn requests

the return of her roots.

folding earthward,

for the whisper

of winter at seed.

frost,

as yet unfurled,

a gnarled dream

waiting

in exquisite slumber.
