Autumn Leaves

volume 6 number 7

her laughter around the dark corner
by l. johnston

cutting the trail
seeking sign
and the wind is laughing
she thinks i'm blind

moment of kindness
shower of light
i quietly creep
among her fallen leaves

there is no darkness
that cannot be pierced
i listen for whispers
and hope i'm not lost

i could just go home
if i could remember
how i came to be here
and find my way back

chimera and suggestion
about the lot of it, i suppose
the only sure thing
is what i'm searching for
