Like the pile of books on my nightstand,  
like the ever-falling leaves  
in the yard,  
my worries accumulate.

Within each there must be a vein  
of leaf, or word, or paragraph, or  
perfect autumnal hue that  
would show me how to  
shake off these worries  
like a wet dog, or waterlogged branch  
in a shudder of wind, or mote  
of dust on a butterfly's wing...

If only I had time to sort  
through this wretched mess.
