Two leaves rescued from a trip down the drain
travelling down the Trafford Road
The plane leaf – soaring like its mechanical cousin
skipping and dancing on the Salford Wind
The maple leaf – smaller, lighter quicker
playing hopscotch over the sandstone paving
Their brothers and sisters lie bereft
hiding under evergreens to keep out of the rain
as Maple and Plane are captured in colour
Impressions of Autumn – that are brighter and fuller
