The end of autumn and the start of something else.
Perpetually stuck
in that moment before a sob,
face contorted
grotesquely
and whole body trembling
while watching the last leaf
fall off a winter tree.
The stale crunchy smell
reminds me
of the stark brown
quivering skeleton
that is the bones of a maple tree.
