A Leaf’s Life

wind whipping wildly
affecting the leaves of the trees

like a crop against a mare’s hind
lashing and impeding
the beauty and origin of a leaf’s duty:
to catch the rays

Or

wistfully whirling
engaging the presence of
a sinister benevolence
instigating strength and tenacity and grace

and, oh, how they dance
