Analysis of New Forests Call
My leaves fall distant from her tree
and flee along the ground
Stripping bare a summer tryst
old promises unbound
Set to ride the Autumn wind
like all those times before
New forests call, as Spring awaits
—my love to loan once more
(Villanova Pennsylvania: January, 2019)
