stay in china with me
October 19, 2021
i’ve never seen an acorn
or red and orange confetti
the things you say make it fall
it’s probably just because
oak trees aren’t really planted here
and the leaves are raked each dawn
it might not be like “back home”
but our falls smell like osmanthus
and sound like happy birdsong
so I don’t know why you say
you hate living here (where I am)
and blame it on the seasons
