A single leaf

falls to the ground.

It's sharp edges pierce the heart of Jay

whose forlorn cry

as he falls to the ground

echoes in the hearts of

a Lion, so strong,

a Mother, so broken,

a Father, denying,

Yes

a single leaf,

broken and wary

The single bud of

Poisonous Holly

Just beginning to flower

Now wilted and hating

Yes a

single leaf

Of Poisonous Holly

Tada!
