Autumn

a cleave haiku by me and Tamyka Bell
with William J Higginson

pexels + pixlr + me

one maple leaf . . . swaying, falling
end over end on the sand then crumbling
without a trace April leaves

But it’s spring, you say.
Here’s our excuse: Tamyka and I live in the lands of the downside up. Leaves that fall in our fall, grow in your spring.

This piece is part of the Cleave Chain collaboration on Chalkboard. To continue the cleave, copy our part of the cleave from the original post here:
