Equinox

David Kenny

Yellowing leaf beginning an inevitable nosedive

Caught mid air by a spider’s thread


Suspended, frozen in time, dangling by the stem

Over the woodland path littered with


Decaying foliage, the cyclical process underway.

The fateful fall delayed by an


Invisible lifeline, hoping to pause the harsh winter

And keep the darkness at bay, in vain.
