Drifting listless from life support, lying placid in tangerine golds Sensitive to crumbling, unaware of their granite beds In circumference of scattered wisps, these fiery litterings lay beautiful, trampled by beleaguering feet, flattened by rush hour's turning axles Such a shame that maturing season lent them beauty, then severed them from perennial sustainance Some find luck and get to decorate kindergarden halls, but most others await permanent smothering in synthetics of environmentally affectionate kinds Such irony that these friendly sacks are grim reapers of nature Once these blades were free, erstwhile on trees, but now lay lifeless and still like fading embers And these silent petals wait in calm fallen through the curse of autumn |
