a vatic amor

[what love brings]

Luninberg, Nova Scotia / Photograph x Cory Basil

i took a fallen leaf
from under the barren tree
pressing it between pages
of my paperback Yeats. 

i wanted to remember
the light of this day,
i wanted my heart to sing
upon finding 
in the dead of winter
this fiery red thing.
