The Interrogation: Poem by KMG

leaf

“A leaf-

-dark red and yellow-

fell”.

When did it fall?

“I don’t know”.

How did it fall?

“No idea..”.

What sound did it make?

“Never  heard…..”

What was the  tree like?

“Not sure………..”

Where is the spot  the leaf fell in?

“No way………………”

Then how do you know it fell at all?

“…………because… a butterfly-

-dark red and yellow-

flapped her wings,

……and soared”.
