I hid among them
And find that I am still that child.
When the leaves fall,
One by one,
I am naked
And can no longer
Secret myself.

No shelter from the palms
With shedding fronds
And wounded base
No trace............

From Letty with love.
Adieu

Fragile, like a leaf from this grand month on an oak in Virginia. Wonderful, Ms. Letty!

Hey, Kelly. Glad you liked my fragility. There is something about the night, no? Thanks, my friend.

Night
acheronian, solitary,
intimidating, creeping, terrifying,
everywhere, black, silent, unknown,
daunting, horrifying, everlasting,
transcendent, unexplored,
Night

Wow, gautam. Fantastic. I wondered how long it would be before I would see the Rajah in verse.

Kelly, gautam is a prince of a fellow, no?
