the golden light on the leaves outside my window

distract me from my situation for a moment--

a brief moment--but long and large enough

to feel the consequence of every mistake I've made in life

even as I think on the hopes that tricked me into thinking

I knew what I was doing--oh why the grief now?

let a plan fall apart--in the collapse a new way forward opens--

under the leaves golden-lit outside my window
