Free verse lament to the unwritten

Written to the Wind

as the leaves wilt to paper

Wind is a hush and air wells heavy with sharps bark and feather suspended like mange where no green can font dry-walled or dew from the stigma of spores erupted from the mush laden to gape in rustle as the leaves wilt to paper unresolved with a pen.
