Lonely Like the Leaves

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rHB1Q13LID4&t=14s Here is a link to my you tube channel where I read my poetry.

The days crawl by like
tortoises.
My purpose is obscured by
vodka nights, and
raven-haired sadness.
Naked branches of
the maple trees dance in
the autumn wind, and
leaves rustle in
the dead grass; 
all burnt orange and yellow ocher.
They're like a
little surreal sunrise.
Hope
is eternal.
