5/7/5:
icy winter wind--
a shriveled sycamore leaf
quivers and shivers

short form:
one last dance--
a shriveled sycamore leaf
sways in winter wind

Please add a version if you feel like it.

Close up on the bottom of some old wooden fence posts. The bottoms are rotting and further up there is bright green moss pale green lichen blooming making it look like an abstract tree.
