Fall Falls

October 23rd, 2018


Fall Falls

When you object objects
And present presents
It is like
When Autumn leaves leaves

For oblivious
Appreciative
Entitled
Passersby

Leaving its branches
Empty and dry
Sap sucked from its marrow
Parched and brittle

Devoid of color
Devoid of life
A barren land
An empty well

Like a tool that is rusty from
Overuse
Overwork
Lack of regular greasing

Like a flame that
Could light candles
But is instead entirely
Snubbed out

The alerts alert
The burn burns
The ache aches
The cycle cycles

But it is not too late
Until it is too late

Be still and listen.

Experience experience.

And the answer will answer
