My Branches Weigh Me Down Poem by Matty Reynolds

My Branches Weigh Me Down



My branches weigh me down.
Laugh at the unshed leaf,
Say what you will at it,
And my grief...
Frost clinging to the air making it
Hard to sigh, or love, or breathe.
The sky is black and alone
With a million stars a million miles from each other.
Autumn is heavy upon me,
As I recall being upon you-
The fruit's rotted in its stalls.

COMMENTS OF THE POEM

You might like the some of the poetry of Kenneth Rexroth, Matty. I know one or two of his poems are here on PoemHunter. Something about your feeling of being alone in the natural world and the Cosmos and your lamenting style, reminds me of him.
