the sidewalk

like the fallen, crushed autumn leaves
in the middle of the sidewalk,
trodden into dust by men of dust and clay,
before it is swept into the void -
us

before the autumn,
before we depart,
have mercy on us,
Christ Jesus,
for only in Thee we find transcendence
from this mortal frame.
have mercy
lest we allow ourselves
to be swept away from endless life
