And sweeping pomegranate leaves
Which is not what I’m doing
Which I will do later
And then forget to
And have to do it early
Sunday morning before
The wind returns
Leaving me to do it again
Until every yellow leaf
Is wanly swept and placed
On the compost heap with ceremony
The corruption of the body
Of a year takes just three months
While the juice of the soul ascends
