Sadness weeps
Under billowing trees.

Swollen roots
Release,

Rivering their bleed
To leaves.

Branches curse
Cold wind,
Sucking flesh dry.

Fallen ones lie
Hopeless
'Neath autumn's sky.

Grateful trees
Give thanks
For the cry.

Sadness bids
Farewell, leaving

A blanket of
Death pavement,

With tiny salt
Tracings.
