Smidgens
Static Leaf
The leaf dances
Around every corner
Around every thought
Even in the avoided song
Now upon the ground
A rush of wind stirs
Hands like autumn
A distant radio is heard
Gathered in piles
An invitation to jump
Soft at first, then asphalt
Static, a lover’s whisper
Raked bare sidewalks
A desert of cracks
My feet are soft
I sing the same song, continually
For the return of Green
Buds of my passion
Birthed in warmth
My ear tickled by rustling
They hang onto mothers
A fragile childhood
Bathed in heat
Time is a refrain
Slid from my hand, again
I turn my palms upward
Bits and pieces
The staffs are full of tears

“Soft at first, then asphalt” always the way. You get through the soft bit only to find the asphalt, reliable and hard beneath your feet. Thanks.
