The Fall on Providence

I saw a Japanese maple,
Bleeding on my lawn.
Red leaves fell like scabs--
Unable to stanch the bleeding caused by angry autumn.
Red, red leaves, brighter than Mars.
A casualty of the nature’s civil war.
Nobody stops for bleeding trees.
Because I could not stop for death, I kindly used a leaf blower.
