Deadsilent

Leaf of light
just for a moment
to fall or maybe float
a little into silence
lower lower
underground
where winter waits
long longing winter
sewed in here
a silent death
waiting for the call

 

 

NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR:
There’s a Dutch word indicating no wind at all: bladstil – when no leaf (blad) at all makes any movement (stil). I think there’s no english equivalent, other than ‘deadsilent’. I figured it also a relevant image: autumn leafs express nearby death as well as upcoming life
