When A Yellow Leaf Falls Poem by Tony Adah

When A Yellow Leaf Falls



A vast cloud descended
Upon the earth and its black
Hue thicken the palpable night
Then the blind men began to see
The sesame seeds littering the ground.

Owls in sinister songs
Broke the silence of the night
And death jacked a soul upon
Its sturdy wings.

The world wailed
And the world rejoiced
Still a green leaf is jittery
When the yellow one obeys gravity
Kissing the dust.
