Leaves

And those leaves
Those goddamned leaves
Swirling on sullen gusts
Those leaves with veins like mine
Ours
Carrying wretched poisons
To already aimless shadows
Those leaves lie in piles
Piles of shame
Sorrow
Lament

And those leaves lie in anticipatory glee
To be joined with other dead things
To be one with nothingness
To be bagged
And forgotten

And those leaves
Those goddamned leaves

Weird? Weirdly right from you. To compare us to leaves - especially "wretched poisons" - brilliant.

Very thought provoking I like it

Thank you. I love that you appreciate it, but I dunno. Kind of a weird one for me.
