burial tree

a blood-red leaf impaled on a dead twig of striped maple

my 100,000 miles of veins

high winds

reflections of trees and sky in a forest pool dotted with fallen leaves

a falling branch crashes
my party of one

it’s not winter

scarlet oak leaves covered with snow

it’s white springtime
#fakenews

As the green drains from the leaves,

close-up of two oak leaves with a little green remaining among the orange and red

why doesn’t it pool underground
like a reservoir of eternal summer?
Why don’t the green, leaf-shaped katydids
turn brilliant colors before they die?
When lovers intertwine, why don’t they fuse
like roots from adjacent trees?
If a human falls in a city and there are
no trees around, does it leave a hole?

maple-leaf viburnum leaves on a steep bank in the woods

turns out its true color
is viburnum
