Trees breathe sunlight
And choke in October.
Pain makes them beautiful.
Leaves dangle with desire, potential,
wait for permission to be cut free.
I breathed you.
You were crimson leaflets sparkling against blue.
You breathed truth
through the confessional window.
Being plain made us beautiful.
We were waiting for the fall,
death’s descent from canopy to Earth.
