What’s been exposed


It’s inevitable: we see it every year, 
Yet still we are surprised. 
When the leaves fall, 
What lies behind them is exposed 
And things begin to look pretty gnarly. 
Now is a time for noticing, and fixing, 
So that when the leaves return in spring 
We don’t forget what lies beneath; 
What must be done, and what must change.
