Upon that moment
of impending catastrophe
leaf over shadow
eye to the ear
and all between

bending down, I handpicked your yellows
but too soon they'd gone brown, edging
over the highway, the crinkling
of my steps upon steps, like clockwork
you return

I braced myself
not wanting to be brought
to tears, once again

there's rain on the mulberry bush!

no need to wonder why

This made me sad...but your choice of words stir a range of emotions and made me feel so much.

I always enjoy reading you....

Too many tear are cascading down these days. I loved this. Baring one inner self is courageous. It is also therapeutic.

I love the creative choice of words you use to get your point across. "rain on the mulberry bush" is very cool.,..to mention just one.
