Falling

Falling
by Caitlin Ohama-Darcus

Yellow canaries.
Yellow canaries floating down.
Down down.
Singing as they twirl. Down down.

Swoosh! The wind flies through.

Up! Red robins.
Red robins bobbing. Up up.
Wings outstretched. Up up.
In the sky. To the ground.

Brown sparrows.
Tan, chestnut, coffee, chocolate –
sparrows.
Dancing. Dancing in the wind.

The leaves of this autumn tree alive.
