the leaves

don't fall 

              like 

they

   used 

to

they ebb
and
they
        flow
      in a
          pattern
that
      I do not
seem to
          know

that I do not
seem
        to underst-
and.

perhaps 

yes,
perhaps.  I should

       have

told 

     you

  the  words

left

unspoken

             between us.

But.
To be
honest.

           I don't
think
                    they would
             have
mattered.

Like how
a leaf
        falls.

Is
it
   really
          bothering
anyone?

Anyone
except
         me?
