Winter Poem
one by one the red orange
and green leaves fell to the ground
softly and kindly as if they all together
a blanket covering mother earth before
the harsh winds and snows come cover
her and her trees and her bushes and her
grasses and her leaves and her bees
solidifying all of them with brick ice
never to be seen again by life
until spring’s beginning
