Trees in Autumn
We humans shed ourselves by slow degrees.
Not so with trees.
Trees lose their brittle leaves
Swift as you please.
One dead layer gone
They’re naked as a skeleton
Clattering in the breeze.
Not so with trees.
Trees lose their brittle leaves
Swift as you please.
One dead layer gone
They’re naked as a skeleton
Clattering in the breeze.
