The way the last two lines in the refrain read

And leave behind a curious few

Verses that come into leaf

It sounds almost as if the line had been clipped like a leaf and floated down. I really like this one.

thanks - and yes, that last line seemed to decide that it wanted to be dactyls, not iambs; and just sort of skipped away whistling

Leaves

into they come

(spontaneous haiku variation by me)

I love the two last lines in the refrain.

A bit late to read it this time, but it’s again you, and it’s lovely.

That’s why I played a bit with the haiku here… a bit too you, a bit too me 🪽🫧🪽

I kid you not slow down to believe me to the speed of poe trie. Wallace Stevens said, apparently, i heardthis from James Hillman, we played with mud before the crystal pistols of our careful talks. As you clearly say here. Digging you.
