Dropping across a silent sidewalk
A single leaf, remnant of a long passed Fall,
Scurried past broken stone and dirty snow.
Century old victorian homes,
With tall ceilings and steepled crests,
Like a line of sentries watching it pass.
While Spring sat on the horizon,
With Fall a fading memory forgotten,
A dreary sky looked down remorseless.
On the sidewalk lay a man,
Broken hearted, dead to the world,
Life's blood spilled for little honor.
Gang sign written near his body,
Proclaimed a victory of sorts.
The leaf never learned his name.
------
Never surrender

No Tears
