Burnt leaves


Burnt leaves over water -
Cups of crinkled sunlight
Caught on toasted tree twigs,
Autumnal embers
Holding on by tiny tendrils,
Wrinkling in readiness
For the spiralling fall into
Waves of another life -
Banks of drifting leaf boats
Bound for watery winter voyages,
Floating in one final firey blaze,
Before sinking silty slippage into
A rich and restful soil bed
Of endings and becomings.
