Black Leaves

in hive-184437 •  4 years ago 

I've been forlorn

Quite a while,

Darker

Than night mists

Around the Moon;

Void

As a wooden bucket

Fragmented

On the porch,

Unfit to hold water

However, presently filled

With dark leaves;

I believe that bucket

Is more joyful

Than me.

My arms

Emptier

Than leafless trees,

Also, nothing fills me…

Not dark leaves.
