A Small Pile of Leaves
author writes to reader of a tree from behind the tree the author writes
the reader no longer sees the tree only the author hiding behind it writing
the reader writes it is the reader huddled behind the tree carving R-E-A-D-E-R
into the tree with a pen-knife then a key that breaks at the end of R-E-A-D-
now inspired the author deletes the tree and writes of a huddled figure
crying over a small pile of leaves I placed there before I sat down to write
these lines hoping they might be discovered by someone out for a reading
