it seems impossible to me

catching my breath

the smell of dead leaves

falling one by one

dancing as they tumble

walking alone, things stay the same

the river sings me to sleep

the air has changed

and I think you and me

made it to the end

Thank you for reading — I’m still enjoying the simplicity and accessibility of cut-up poetry. This was another from the four boxes technique.
