BUSHELS OF LEAVES

Folder: 
PASSIVE RESISTANCE

 

 

Bushels of leaves are

                    left

                       under

             rising

        clouds

 

              of despair

      and memories

             of chestnuts

           and acorns

 

       haunt us

         leave us

    

      gasping

           for air
