red dawns

A Poem by jacob erin-cilberto

red dawns


stoic trees
wait for winter
filaments of logic
veins in the leaves

vain in leaving.

I see autumn and people, but
puzzled by the line vain in leaving! But that's just me! Never could do cryptic crosswords either!

something like that anyway---and the play on words---leaves can be stubborn, people can be stubborn... read more
I have this vision of the beautiful red leaves of autumn clinging on for all they are worth, yet in the knowledge of the inevitable. People can be like that too when they face death. So much meaning and imagery Jacob in so few words.
