Only a few leftover for fall
Sprinkled lightly flying away
She says she’s saving the last
Two phoenixes for the last two days
Barring some unforeseen emergency
She thinks I haven’t noticed
That red bird hidden
In the dying pine trees
Or the two sparrows
She keeps in her pocket
Who refuse to un-mate
Or this dead tree
She’s dragged indoors
To wait for fate
