haiku | falling leaves challenge
dawn smokes cold wood and
sporocarp—as leaves shed, i
feel the forest sigh
About the Creator
Kristen Balyeat
Words fly to me on the wind, bump into me as I'm strolling the city, splash me in the face while I rest by the river, and shake me awake in the middle of the night—I’m humbly one of the vessels they use to come to life.
Also, i love you:)
