Encore

Rain on fur, one leaf watching, buried in the fall
prey to the fade of colour.

One leaf watching the dog’s slow seasonal twerking
mocking time’s incipient decay.

One leaf trembling as soggy mittens in small boots
wait to crush and kick.

One leaf watching, denying avarice, just pining to flaunt
fine foliage, hang out on the top branch

looking down on wet dogs, steal the light from
small boots.
