Leaves

On the porch
A dry leaf scrapes.


You have no memory of that day.

And I am somewhere
In between now...

And the day we gathered leaves.

I feel I have aged,
Perhaps inside,

And what joins us now is vague

Is it stone floors,
Dry leaves

Or the bitter years
It took to realize

You have no memory of that day?

Thanks, appreciate the encouragement - Sorry, I almost missed your reply - I was just checking the post replies

El tiempo que todo lo marchita, lo cubre, lo acaba. No hay elemento más indicador del paso del tiempo que las hojas, @johnjgeddes. Tan verdes y enteras en su comienzo, tan marchita y marrón al final. Se caen las hojas con el tiempo, mueren, desaparecen. La voz lírica utiliza las hojas no solo para hablar del tiempo, también para hablar de distancias y transformaciones. Esa pregunta final nos da la certeza que se dirige a alguien que ha olvidado el comienzo, que no tiene memoria!! Y como hojas caemos
                       caemos
                              caemos

                                                 caemos
Bonita noche!

Gracias, Nancy, y como de costumbre, vas al meollo del asunto. El sueño se marchita y no solo se caen las hojas, sino que los recuerdos que juntamos junto con ellos se marchitan también y otras personas caen en nuestra estimación de ellos.

What a beautiful combination! Even the way you presented your poems make for nice imagery!

Very Nice Poetry.
