the fallen leaf envies fruit on the branch
old love letter in the drawer
itches with envy at the weight
of newly-penned passion on the table top
always a struggle in the comparison
but two needs one to come before
larger, smaller, brighter, sweeter
forgotten sweater in the closet
(did I forget a sweater in the closet?)
things remembered laugh at Easter
they are, it is, they are
barking up the same tree
retreating to the same brown bed
