Thoughts Turn To Death As Autumn Leaves Begin to Fall


Painting by Rajani Balaram


Thoughts Turn to Death
As Autumn Leaves
Begin to Fall



Death
has forced
me inward,
made me
embrace solitude.

The bluejay
drops a
grey & blue
feather
dipped in white gesso.

I want
to live
inside the entire feather,
not just
its infinite
blind tip.
