I Watch a Leaf

I watch a leaf, bound in a tiny pool
Dismal flora, unmindful it is dead
Autumnal wind, used as pushing tool
This parking lot puddle, bumping its edge

I watch the leaf; dried, brown, crescent crumble
While its friends, they twist and roll they are free
Scent of shop donuts, build tummies grumble
Winds slash and lash my skin, howling a plea

I watch a leaf, the leaf of my shared grief
Who doesn’t want to die, meet brevity
From time no relief, life span, living brief
Out of grasp or my hands, longevity

Honor all seasons, vanity, false belief
Walk away from composting of, this leaf

Candles That Like Wine

Wine stalks and watch my candle’s faint flicker
Soothe my misery, crest waves its breach point
Death to spouts, dead are bouts high in bicker
Appoint this ending, break bonds at their joint

Wine in all mute silence, warms love’s cold chill
Unclothed, black strap dress lie on wooden floor
Exposed toes kick heels, date mate dressed to kill
Call back dear’s smell, dear’s last kiss at the door

Wine spent, leave candles with love’s sole reject
Jazz notes shriek, squealing, they sweep the ceiling
Sum adds the pain, tone, wine; now a drunk wreck
Tears in fits, blab out speak, talk brings healing

Calm brings real sane, time brings another to pine
Not sure about the fate of Candles that like Wine
