Leafy Rain

Olivia Mohr

 

A single horse behind a closed-in fence

wanders alone in the wide and browning field,

the wind brushing it

with coarse fingers.

 

A leafy rain floods the ground,

each step a satisfying crunch

beneath the rhythmic feet of a wanderer.

 

The trees stand tall,

stretching long limbs

and shaking the leaves off their arms

like dust.
