Decaying Leaves

Air snaps
Trees divorce themselves
From their leaves
Framed on bare-boned canvas
Summer succumbs
Stainless steel rosary
Clenched in her palm

Intrusion
Never her intention
Her suns devoted
To the solemn study of trees
She weeps her season
In decaying leaves

Decaying leaves represent the passing of...
a season, a love, a life.
Beautiful poem Mary.
