leaves fall
like Empires
except
they do not cling
to what they were, where
they are, what
they know
as fierce as limpets
the law of Nature, rule
if gravity
this the city teaches
it is how it masters, measures
controls
I myself have
a smidgen of
that learning, an incomplete
picture that now
the gallery is
closing
is being
taken out
the frame
and yes,
whilst we are
in this realm of
analogy we must
add how
it is
that trees topple
but not
never (meaning
hardly ever)
of their own accord
