Poem:
hold me in my shame
cradle me in my innocence
all the leaves have fallen
from once brilliant green
crumpled and dried
the wind whirling them into dust
millions of smiles
long forgotten
have died
the rain is the tears
of those who lived throughout the ages
all of our books have fallen apart
severed, faded, yellowed pages
...
