Slowly
One by one
Without comment
The leaves fall
Through still air

Perhaps
The last
Dragonfly
Equally silent
Shimmers from withered
Reed to reed

The smoke
From a pipe
Rises up
Dissipates
Then drifts away

Like the sunlight
Quiet
That feels no need

It is over

What else is there to say

and heart deeply buried with the seeds
