I watched the yellow leaf
Twist and twirl in the breeze
Until it could hold no more
Took its leave from the tree
To dance and pirouette endlessly
I could hear no tune, no #Spillwords #Literature #WritingCommunity #Poetry #Fiction

Assateague, Virginia,

"They spray with a bi-plane.
Flew one years ago...
not around here, though."

And for you man is machine
Little more than a device

With feigned ignorance
He takes other steps
He loses his appetite

We began as friends

Met at church—
I returned to faith
after my mom died.
