Untitled by Coryn Diehl

See me.

I’m yellow, orange and red

 

Chase me.

I’m falling fast, caught on the wind

 

Catch me.

As I fall and settle to the ground

 

Pick me up.

It’s not too late,

Your gloved hands moving near my face

 

Hold me.

It’s not too late,

As my edges curl into the ground

 

Protect me.

It’s not too late,

My brittle spine’s crackling in the wind

 

Hidden, and Covered.

As the snow drifts down.

 

Find me.

It’s not too late,

With the weight bearing down

 

Help me.

It’s not too late,

The rain’s coming, whisking me away

 

Remember me.
