the ground
was covered
in white and black
and i wouldn’t leave
the house.
the cold seemed
to take over
my body
and freeze
my willpower
and the pink
summer blouse.
mother begged
for me to step outside,
i dragged my feet in
slippers and a coat
a size too tight.
a golden leaf
awaited on the
front porch and
i could swear
it whispered
“keep going”.

A leaf is the smallest unit of a tree. It has roots, a stem, branches, twigs and the leaves. Yet in the winter they are discarded as a means of nutrition.
This is the furthest branching item of a tree. From the roots to the stem, to the branches, twigs to the leaf. Yet they are discarded in the winter if the tree needs nutrition.

The leaf tetters at the edge of the wind, little green factory, small windows opening sucking up our breath, chlorophyll paint painting energy, color making energy.
blaadjes zijn groen, ze hangen aan bomen, bomen zijn bruinig vaak maar kunnen ook zwart of wit zijn. bomen worden nog veel te vaak omgekapt zonder dat ze omgekapt moeten worden, dat is slecht voor het milieu. bomen geven ons zuurstof, dat is voor iedereen belangrijk om te overleven. daarom wil ik dat bomen blijven bestaan

The leaf fluttered down from the tree and stuck on to her coat. She tried to brush it off, but it was stuck on the fabric. She tried to pry it off and found that metal legs from the leaf attached themselves to the coat.
