Day after day
the leaves fall and blow across the road
Why they fall is no matter
that they fall is important
I am crushed like a leaf under the foot of life
pay no mind to my tears
Day after day
the snow falls and sweeps through the air
like a silent angel
but the wind bites at eyes and ears
I melt like that snow
becoming grey and washing down the gutter
pay no mind to my tears
Day after day
the rain falls on the sidewalk
and beats
heavily
against every new blade of grass
the thunder drums and rolls along the sky
I am like the rain,
accumulating mud and sweeping over
the ground
pay no mind to my tears
Day after day
the sun falls down into the horizon
but the heat remains
the leaves of the trees whisper in the hot wind
I am like the sun
living in the memory of yesterday's
brilliant sunset
pay no mind to my tears
Day after day
my life falls
like two suicidal lovers
down the cliff of life
they clench each other as they
fall to their death
but one survives
although broken and bloody,
she still lives
only one lover is always doomed to survive
in my life
pay no mind to my tears
- Jan. 26, 1984, A.D.
