a moment of peace

when they all left

a single leaf

stays on the carpeted floor

from outside

finding its way inside

my room



face on the floor

veins exposed

my eyes piercing

inside the stomata

the guard cells

open



i close the window

the wind passes by



i sit alone again.

my hand holding another hand

my eye looking to an eye



i close everything now

the leaf is trapped

inside my mind



there is light

it is glowing and the

leaf is burning
