“And all the lives we ever lived and all the lives to be are full of trees and changing leaves…”

Virginia Woolf

Autumn in Vancouver

Autumn in Coal Harbour

West Georgia Street

Is it autumn’s desire

to set all trees on fire?

A friendly fire of colored leaves –

red, yellow, and orange, no shade is missed.

The fire department can rest in peace,

at least,

while the ground is kissed

by leaves

from all the maple trees.

Autumn

“Autumn is the hardest season. The leaves are all falling, and they’re falling like they’re falling in love with the ground.”
