"Foglie cadute"

youth work
Fallen leaves

Sea of fallen leaves
path between them
that open to my way
as if I attendessero.

wind rustling
stirs the amber colors
lifeless leaves
They await.

wind rustling
stirs the amber colors
lifeless leaves
They await.

In a book I enclose
the leaf collection
because dried
remains remember
his life
to tell it.
