Leave-taking
the trees react to colder nights by stripping naked the meadow too
it’s as if they’re about to set off somewhere all excess baggage is left at the gate
the sun too is a budget traveler abandoning most of the sky the days are so quiet now
take me with you even if there’s nowhere to go even if it means leaving myself behind
