Onwards and Away

And the slightest breath of wind
curls around the leaf,
nestling it in unsupportive coldness,
sending it up and North,
a ballerina, twirling out of control
     and dropping-
     a career ended.
The leaf lies inanimate once more
just staring at the cloud as they too
are moved onwards and
     away.
