No Leaves Left

by Willi Brown


"How about the
nature of things and
a bushel basket for
the yellowed oak leaves?"
 
The wind twirls
my memory just as

from the careless distribution of autumn
into a form we call "pile".

Round, little piles
transformed into
mounds and heaps,
taken to the woods
behind the house
and dumped
