lyrics

Come the autumn my fig tree sheds
All but one of its large three lobed leaves.
There remains one perfect leaf
Hanging by a breath of a thread.
It is yellow gold.
Possessed by the sun, it seems lit from within.
Like handmade paper it is veined
With a tracery of fine, dark ochre lines.
Then
It falls,
It curls,
It blotches,
It shrivels,
It darkens.
It disappears.
I will savour many snowfalls and winter days,
Remembering the fig leaf that breathed your name,
Before tiny fleshy green buds appear again.
