When September Has Not Yet Come

[maleonpyg]

A faded yellow eucalyptus leaf is falling
in the early morning when the air is still crispy fresh.

It simply keeps falling without any breeze,
not on the flowery meadow a few meters away,
but on the hood of my car in a parking lot
when September has not yet come.

Leave alone how it's going to be in September! You are an early hour bird, aren't you, and get up as I start falling asleep!.... that's why I have never yet seen an eucalyptus leave fall on the pavement in front of my house...

A great image you evoked there. I love how the word yellow lights up the whole poem.

I like the way this poem moves, softly and slowly like a leaf falling down. Very evocative. :)

Very Zen
