The Fall

With a clinician's sterile tone and motion,
a part of my mind reaches over and
taps me on the shoulder, wanting to draw
my attention to the facts on the table.

I am the color of a leathered orange.
I am an old leaf on an elderly tree
getting ready to drop to the ground.
Crumpling up, getting ready to burn.


round I, poem 6, 28 October 2005
