Leaf

I am a leaf blown across the road.
Having lost my green, I fell.
My body thinned and holes grew 
where the pavement scraped my sides.
I gather in a heap. Rain assaults me
and the sunlight that once gave me life
now contributes to my destruction.
Worms feed on my substance. They
pass me to the earth.
