are there

 are there 


are there

leaves that are falling on another world

around another star

another autumn

its length dependent

on the eccentricity of its orbit

yet here 

i am walking up the shadow of a tree

pulling the petals off a child’s daisy

to be left 

with the propeller of a war plane

oops a daisy

another one (million) bites the dust

over there

white faces dusted by a desert bomb

faces as grey as the aridity of a planet

too close to a star’s fussion

you are musing

minimal gravity is a light thought’s mite that

never dusted the reserve of a dark library shelf

quiet now

come on light out 

time for bed
