POEM - How Things Are

HOW THINGS ARE

If you flip a leaf
like a glossy green penny
it has both a dark
and a light side

The dark is dark
because its been exposed only to the light
and
the light is light
because its been exposed only to the dark

In their true nature
pinned to branches
as burnished tin medals
they glitter on a tree
in the gentle strobe
of a modest breeze

Until they're shed
falling
as ticker tape
to welcome you back
from the moon.
