This vanishing point on the horizon Is proceeded by a canal of autumn leaves This road leads the way with a light dressing And I disturb the dead as I walk From their soft landing Along with a cornered piece of wind is a whirlpool of air Spinning fluidly, layers of leaves The dancing dead only appearing for real in one’s head And the memory of the living their only domain The living clean up the leaves outside their houses with a rake More leaves fall down, around and turn and turn about As we continue to sweep the ground Rasping sounds of mingling leaves and scratching racks Floating leaf and air mixture Soft brushings passing on us And my walking makes their crisp whisper Beware, coming winter, coming winter, they say Fear not this winter I won’t forget you my darling And youth half-heartedly cleans up the season Gathering up Autumn Being young enough to wish their life away.
