Bare, standing silently still.
The wind, it cuts life from the air.

Children fall,
shedding smoothly.

Skeletons pile up methodically.
Branches beckon for warmth.

Stalking, the squirrel descends.
Calling for brother bird to defend the home.

More brothers pierce the crisp sky,
darting to the skeletal branch.

And all is at one,
Not a limb daring to sway.
