sweeping up leaves
before rain

leaves
hunters
in the morning
hunters invade the woods—
from the first shots
leaves begin to fall
in silent prayer

moonlight –
the shade of the leaves
even darker
clair de lune –
l’ombre des feuilles
plus sombre encore

échelle en bois – wooden ladder
rude ascension –
l’ombre des feuilles
modèle la lumière
heavy ascension –
the shadow of leaves
is casting light
