atmospheric circulation

i wonder - do leaves think:

          when I fall - I hope to fall straight
          down to be with all my brethren

          we sprung up together, we should
          lay together and face the footsteps
          and creatures who will use us for
          warmth or discarded waste. Does

          each want to be that one leaf lost
          in the current as it blows past - it
          ebbing: falling and rising, travelling
          miles and being lost far from where

          it once sprung. it has a story, one
          never told but often seen. films
          fragment its journey. and we, as we
          walk, ponder its thoughts - for it

was life.

as we

saw it
