Photographs of Autumn#

These photographs are brittle leaves
that fell from trees, that we once caught.
I press them tender into sleeves
of glass to halt the course of rot.
Though kept well fed with water shed,
they wilt to brown as colors fade.
No leaf can live beside the bed,
without sunlight that makes the shade.
Yet even still, though claimed by dust,
I keep them hung upon my wall,
for memory you did entrust
of walk with you through golden Fall.
