10/8/12

fall & rise


In the dimness of the dawn
With the sun behind soggy clouds
Like a clown’s coat rack
All the trees are glowing

The sun, like a petulant child
Begs for 10 more minutes of sleep
What is he dreaming of?
A half day’s work?

The wind, like a roadside Romeo
Persistently whistles
The leaves fall in love with him
Does it matter which direction they fall?

Some leaves aren’t colored
They have lost all their hues
Are they sad lying on the grass?
Like soldiers stationed on a battleground?

And every night the grass sleeps
Under the weight of our world
With bruises on its face
And tears on its pillow

Underneath that glistening rock
On a bed of magic mushrooms
Lies my former self
Gazing at stars bloom
