spontaneous--but not meant for action

another leaf curls away
as smiles fall in ashes
blown as rain
falling slowly in the distance
..as slowly
as bronze shadows scatter
sighs trickled into dust
laced over stone.
the sun is draining
more slowly this time,
it seems, as slight glances slip
into pools puddled
where feet drag listlessly
into nightfall. another leaf curls away,
crinkled whispers flicking ashes
smiled in the dark
where bronze corrodes
to purple, faded sighs
..a sign that fall
is falling upon us
or maybe that's just sundown
reminding us
that every day shall fade.
