Extend to ancestors
And twine the leaves

The mulch of foreplay
Lost beyond the reach

Of what is done
And what is duty
For the day

Spot the metasotic ?
The mulch of foreplay
now there's a resonant line

Today I practiced outside
on a sunny autumn morn
under a fernleaf beech
on a gold mantle of fallen leaves.

An aikido proverb goes 'The dance of falling leaves is a celebration of Life'
