crushed by exposure

somewhere in the neighborhood 
of grit and good intention
i lost my way 
because i was strained through the sieve 
i was crushed by exposure
like the maple leaves
i burst into color 
before falling to the ground
and maybe it’s the weather,
or lack of sleep 
or my worn out boots 
or the ground underneath
maybe it’s the distance 

between you and me
