their formations shape
a change of pace in the sky
the urge to fly, windomized
Treetops merge and swell and splinter
from root trunk dependencies
as if they did not understand belonging
Leaves dream they are the birds they sheltered
They rehearse a choir of fricatives
sibilance becomes deafening
Do they practice autumn?
They seem to murmur something
that sounds like leaving
Seeds listen
