DEFEASANCE

She wanted to see the green leaves on the home-side tree all throughout the year

Through all her life.

This has been her only source of strength

Her reflection.

At every daybreak 

She would look out of her bedroom window 

To restore the serenity of her conscience.

They were, satiating her desire, 

All these decades, 

Prior to this.

She dashed to her old friend, the bright green life bearers

When she awakened this morning

But the leaves had turned yellow

Sordid 

Soiled 

Devoid of life

Her life

Destitute of everything she stood for...

And she knew it was time

Time for her perennial and irremediable perdition!
