Way leads into way.

I don't want to step on the fallen leaves
even though I can see other people's steps and mud on them.
They are still beautiful;
perfect fallen leaves
many coloured spots on the pavement
washed down with the rain and the wind
and I just don't want to step on them
even though I can see other people's steps and mud on them.

Aftershock.

Quieta.
Me quedé callada para poder escuchar la lluvia
golpeando mis cristales como deditos juguetones,
y cómo olía a preticor y al café que se estaba enfriando,
al incienso que ya se había quemado
y a ti.
