Leaves

Red leaves were favored.
Chosen
Studied
Debated
Pressed between waxen sheets.
Hot
Burned fingers
"Et voila."

Better pressed in books.
Large
Heavy
Lost
Forgotten
'Till found a century gone.
Transparent
Disintegrating

"We did that you know.
I remember the day,
With Lulu and Belle.
Oh mon dieu,
We were so gai."
