A Strip Of Life & Death

I get tired of goodbyes Easily these days for IHave grown weary, weatheredBy winds of lossMy heart wants to curl upInto a foetus in the wombWhen I witness a parting Be it that of a leaf in autumnI know death is necessaryAnd inevitable but a leafFalling in autumn is differentFrom a tree being set on…
