How lovely she is
exposed for the world to see
but i imagine
she weeps for her faded leaves
wind-whipped, tumbling round her feet.
I wonder if she remembers the spring.

Thank Frances. And yes! I love Lynn’s photo. This is our second collaboration. She takes the photo, I write the words. It’s one of the wonderful things about blogging. You meet such gifted interesting people. 🙂
