ScatteredThere's a girl next door
who I always see picking up leaves
catching them as they fall
and putting them carefully
in her too-small pocket.
Then she'd get on the school bus
and her little face would appear
in the window, looking
up into the tops of the trees.
And the other day,
she found a bird's nest
fallen in the grass
by the rhododendron bush.
She picked it up with
careful fingers and fragile thoughts
and held it up to her big eyes
examining the tiny little egg inside.
Reaching up, she lifted the nest
and put it into the
stunted little evergreen
that stood alone by the stop sign.
She turned from the corner,
and looked up at the trees again
and then, closing her eyes,
she held out her arms and flapped them
And the next day,
with a sad smile on her face,
she pulled the dried, crumbling leaves
from her too-small pocket
And held them in her
too-small hands
and after one last look,
she scattered them onto the frosty grass.
