leaves leaving

outlines adopted in spring
shimmer in shining green sheen

leaves
rake it in
all summer long
sway in breeze and dance
thicken trunk and branch
leaves
rake it in
all summer long

transit to
a maze of hues
after first hard frost
dismantled by gust
into solvent soil

roots
rake it in
all winter long
bare tree observes
the slow decay
of its dialogue
with the sun
roots
rake it in
all winter long
