Fallen leaves waltz

'The Singing Butler' by Jack Vettriano


Still
self world
cells
letters
fell down leaves
estampes
prints

written
in ancient
time/season/day
keep secrets
codes, shades
sway

I match
palm to palm
heart pumps
loud
reading
lines…

  12. knowing it is a "waltz" poem made me read it a bit differently than I normally would have. Nice.
