The leaves that shaded her in summer
Have fallen now. Dead, flat, wet, brown
Some skeletal, some wedged and broken
Smelling of loss beneath
The naked silent trees.
Her footsteps are covered by these metaphors
That also float to nowhere in the wind
And where she looked one day
Lovingly at the summer’s pond
There are only solemn bare branches of remorse
