taken by the wind
October 28, 2019
A harsh breeze cascades through the branches of a tree, ripping a leaf from it’s branch and carrying it away. The leaf lands in a pile of dirt, only to be chased away by the rough blast of a leaf blower. It slams against the face of a young human. Who, in return, tears part of the leaf, ravaging it’s lime green color. The leaf is thrown onto the ground. It’s brilliant lime green color has faded into a brown, and it’s edges have wilted and become crisp. The leaf lies there, torn and tattered, until the wind snatches it up again.
