Free Verse

A Man Who Lived too Long

For each word he speaks
a leaf falls from his tongue

catching syllables

and speckles of powder
left from a morning

hidden by the moon
and dropped

                         shrieking

from his broken tree

until it collapses
like rockpo(e)ms against

a blank white page
filled by autumns milky

swaying evening light.
