A leaf floating in wind
where it comes from
where does it go?
The gold of autumn
has already touched it-
the freedom of dying
Freedom of flight
from nowhere into the air
that freedom of unattachedness
A leaf carried by wind
what does it come from
what does it go into
when the still golden seal
is laid upon them,
what are the leaves after
in their maddening run
through the winds,
through the gale…
