a reddened leaf

a reddened leaf got caught
in between the windshield wiper
and the warm clear windshield

the changing color, caught
for a few fleeting hours of joy-
then freely spirals, lightly touches down

to the ground, becoming one
with her family of reds oranges yellows
nature's pure and blessed elegy

what has happened
cannot be changed; only our
perception of its happening
