Quotes about leaf, page 17
Gray Room
Although you sit in a room that is gray,
Except for the silver
Of the straw-paper,
And pick
At your pale white gown;
Or lift one of the green beads
Of your necklace,
To let it fall;
Or gaze at your green fan
Printed with the red branches of a red willow;
Or, with one finger,
Move the leaf in the bowl--
The leaf that has fallen from the branches of the forsythia
Beside you...
What is all this?
I know how furiously your heart is beating.

Autumn Leaf, Spring Leaf
each autumn leaf
trailing the wind
a lost dream
each spring leaf
that takes leave
a lost hope

A Leaf Fell In Gaza
Death
is a leaf
torn from the tree
no one feels the pain
of the leaf
swept by the rain
to the sea.

Mimicry
For how long can this butterfly
Mimic a strong green leaf?
It depends on the memory of the
Caterpillar
on the other leaf wriggling

The Last Leaf Story
i did not agree with
the last leaf
painting on the wall
last winter
to keep love alive
i took the last leaf
i simply want that you
take your
rest.

Ellipse
Wind to skeleton
Travel to stillness
Stream to pond
Path to trail
Sea to wind
Root to leaf
Leaf to light
And it passes
Moon, planet, star, soul

Subconscious 6
Maybe I’ll follow the river
To a beautiful fall
Maybe I’ll follow the forest
To a beautiful demise
Leaf one leaf two
Cliff above water
Reach out
Dive
