losing a mind, fall

from the rough center of a tree yellow
wanders through green to the end of the branch
like losing a mind until there is
nothing, the poem

where the mind stops
blue in sun
cold

         red brown trunk gives way to green
leaves clinging to one last branch
yellow turns it to the end, sky

nothing to do but fly
or fall for it
